Sonnet vs Springfield Sage

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Sonnet reads as beige-greige, while Springfield Sage reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sonnet (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Springfield Sage (LRV 23), a difference of 47 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sonnet runs red while Springfield Sage is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 34.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
