Plymouth Brown vs Swiss Coffee
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Swiss Coffee (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Plymouth Brown (LRV 14), a difference of 68 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Plymouth Brown runs red while Swiss Coffee is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 50.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
