Rust vs Valley View

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Rust belongs to the beige-pink family and Valley View to the beige-yellow family. Valley View (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Rust (LRV 20), a difference of 46 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Rust runs red while Valley View is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 48.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
