Raphael vs Sandpiper Beige

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Raphael reads as pink, while Sandpiper Beige reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sandpiper Beige (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Raphael (LRV 7), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Raphael runs red while Sandpiper Beige is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 53.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
