Head Over Heels vs Sombrero
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Head Over Heels (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Sombrero (LRV 48), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 25.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
