Cavern Clay vs Ligonier Tan

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Cavern Clay reads as beige-pink, while Ligonier Tan reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ligonier Tan (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Cavern Clay (LRV 20), a difference of 27 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 27.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
