Italian Saffron vs Thin Ice

Both from PPG's palette. Italian Saffron 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 Italian Saffron (LRV 35), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 54.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
