Pure Joy vs Shooting Star

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Pure Joy belongs to the beige-yellow family and Shooting Star to the beige family. Shooting Star (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Pure Joy (LRV 72), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pure Joy runs yellow while Shooting Star is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
