Opulence vs Sterling Silver

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Opulence belongs to the beige family and Sterling Silver to the grey family. Opulence (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Sterling Silver (LRV 35), a difference of 53 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 30.4, the contrast is hard to miss.
