With a ΔE of 11.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Bassoon will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Saffron Valley would.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Bassoon returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
