Princess vs Simply White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Princess belongs to the pink-red family and Simply White to the beige-white family. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Princess (LRV 31), a difference of 58 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Princess runs red while Simply White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 43.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
