Desert Camel vs Thin Ice
Both from PPG's palette. Desert Camel reads as beige, while Thin Ice reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Thin Ice (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Desert Camel (LRV 43), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 27.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
