Killarney vs Sesame

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Killarney belongs to the greige-grey family and Sesame to the beige-yellow family. Sesame (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Killarney (LRV 47), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 16.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
