Jute Brown vs Secret Cove

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Jute Brown reads as beige, while Secret Cove reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Secret Cove (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Jute Brown (LRV 13), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jute Brown runs warm while Secret Cove is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 42.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
