Richmond Gold vs Sweet Spring
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Richmond Gold reads as beige, while Sweet Spring reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sweet Spring (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Richmond Gold (LRV 31), a difference of 33 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Richmond Gold runs red while Sweet Spring is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
