Potters Clay vs Runyon Canyon Tan
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Potters Clay (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Runyon Canyon Tan (LRV 18), a difference of 10 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 10.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
