Northwood Brown vs Spanish White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Northwood Brown belongs to the beige-greige family and Spanish White to the beige-white family. Spanish White (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Northwood Brown (LRV 13), a difference of 63 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Northwood Brown runs red while Spanish White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.4, the contrast is hard to miss.
