Meadowlark vs Sand Dune
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Sand Dune (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Meadowlark (LRV 24), a difference of 22 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 19.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
