Piñata vs Vanilla Milkshake

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Piñata belongs to the pink-red family and Vanilla Milkshake to the beige-greige family. Vanilla Milkshake (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Piñata (LRV 20), a difference of 61 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Piñata runs warm while Vanilla Milkshake is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 78.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
