Meander vs Natural Wool

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Meander reads as beige-greige, while Natural Wool reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Natural Wool (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Meander (LRV 42), a difference of 17 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.
