Tarragon vs Townhouse Tan

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Tarragon reads as blue-grey, while Townhouse Tan reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Townhouse Tan (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Tarragon (LRV 7), a difference of 53 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tarragon runs cool while Townhouse Tan is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 53.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
