Normandy vs Palace Tan

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Normandy belongs to the blue-grey family and Palace Tan to the beige-greige family. Palace Tan (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Normandy (LRV 22), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Normandy runs blue while Palace Tan is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
