Secluded Beach vs Soft Sky

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Secluded Beach reads as beige, while Soft Sky reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Secluded Beach (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Soft Sky (LRV 66), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Secluded Beach runs red while Soft Sky is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
