Nutmeg vs Patina

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Nutmeg belongs to the beige family and Patina to the beige-pink family. Nutmeg (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Patina (LRV 25), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 16.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
