At LRV 49 vs 34, March Wind will read as the brighter of the two — a 15-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — March Wind's neutral character against Rushing River's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 12.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
