River Silt vs Willow Creek
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. River Silt reads as greige-grey, while Willow Creek reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Willow Creek (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than River Silt (LRV 21), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 13.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
