Delicate White vs Sawdust

Both from PPG's palette. Delicate White reads as white, while Sawdust reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Delicate White (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Sawdust (LRV 77), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 27.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
