Luminous Days vs Seashell

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Luminous Days reads as beige, while Seashell reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Seashell (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Luminous Days (LRV 52), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Luminous Days runs red while Seashell is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 53.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
