Honeybee vs Mushroom Cap

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Mushroom Cap (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Honeybee (LRV 67), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Honeybee runs yellow and red while Mushroom Cap is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 10.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
