Baked Clay vs Copper Mountain

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Baked Clay reads as beige-pink, while Copper Mountain reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Baked Clay (LRV 26) reflects noticeably more light than Copper Mountain (LRV 17), a difference of 9 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 10.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
