Andiron vs Mannered Gold

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Andiron reads as greige-grey, while Mannered Gold reads as beige-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mannered Gold (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Andiron (LRV 5), a difference of 29 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 47.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
