Seapearl vs Smokey Taupe
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Seapearl (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Smokey Taupe (LRV 55), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Seapearl runs warm while Smokey Taupe is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
