Sand Dunes vs Timid White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Sand Dunes reads as beige, while Timid White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Timid White (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Sand Dunes (LRV 70), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sand Dunes runs red while Timid White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
