Hiking Path vs Luxe

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Hiking Path belongs to the beige-greige family and Luxe to the blue-grey family. Hiking Path (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Luxe (LRV 22), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hiking Path runs yellow while Luxe is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 39.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
