Moonlight White vs Sharp Cheddar

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Moonlight White belongs to the beige-greige family and Sharp Cheddar to the beige family. Moonlight White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Sharp Cheddar (LRV 39), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Moonlight White runs warm while Sharp Cheddar is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 77.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
