Normandy vs Squire Hill Buff

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Normandy belongs to the blue-grey family and Squire Hill Buff to the beige family. Squire Hill Buff (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Normandy (LRV 22), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Normandy runs blue while Squire Hill Buff is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
