New England Brown vs Grounded Red

New England Brown reads as pink, while Grounded Red reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. New England Brown (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than Grounded Red (LRV 17), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. New England Brown runs red while Grounded Red is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources.
