Hidden Oaks vs Normandy
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hidden Oaks reads as beige, while Normandy reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Hidden Oaks (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Normandy (LRV 22), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hidden Oaks runs red while Normandy is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
