Muddy York vs Wenge
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Muddy York reads as beige-greige, while Wenge reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Muddy York (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Wenge (LRV 5), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Muddy York runs warm while Wenge is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 46.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
