Peruvian Chili vs Stoneware

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Peruvian Chili belongs to the beige family and Stoneware to the beige-yellow family. Stoneware (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Peruvian Chili (LRV 23), a difference of 58 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Peruvian Chili runs red while Stoneware is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
