Alluring White vs Interactive Cream

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Alluring White reads as beige-white, while Interactive Cream reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Alluring White (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Interactive Cream (LRV 62), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 11.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
