Rich Clay Brown vs Sail Cloth
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. Sail Cloth (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Rich Clay Brown (LRV 16), a difference of 56 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Rich Clay Brown runs red while Sail Cloth is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 46.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
