Scarecrow vs Weathered Oak

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Scarecrow reads as beige-greige, while Weathered Oak reads as beige-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Scarecrow (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Weathered Oak (LRV 15), 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 14.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
