Analytical Gray vs Lemon Chiffon

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Analytical Gray reads as beige-greige, while Lemon Chiffon reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lemon Chiffon (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Analytical Gray (LRV 47), a difference of 32 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 21.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
