Straw vs Victorian Trim
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Straw belongs to the beige family and Victorian Trim to the blue family. Straw (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Victorian Trim (LRV 46), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Straw runs red while Victorian Trim is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 52.5, the contrast is hard to miss.
