Lotus Petal vs Raffia Cream

Both from PPG's palette. Lotus Petal reads as beige, while Raffia Cream reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lotus Petal (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Raffia Cream (LRV 40), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 27.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
