Rich Cream vs Whispering Wind
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Rich Cream belongs to the beige family and Whispering Wind to the blue family. Rich Cream (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Whispering Wind (LRV 69), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Rich Cream runs red while Whispering Wind is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 23.7, the contrast is hard to miss.
