Savannah Moss vs Seashell

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Seashell (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Savannah Moss (LRV 32), a difference of 48 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Savannah Moss runs yellow while Seashell is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
