Rhumba Orange vs Robust Orange

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Rhumba Orange reads as beige, while Robust Orange reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rhumba Orange (LRV 27) reflects noticeably more light than Robust Orange (LRV 21), a difference of 5 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 11.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
