Rock Candy vs Sandy Brown

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Rock Candy belongs to the beige-greige family and Sandy Brown to the beige family. Rock Candy (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Sandy Brown (LRV 52), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Rock Candy runs warm while Sandy Brown is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
