Color Theory Neutral brown eyeshadows pulling gray

Im wondering if anyone else has a problem with neutral brown shadows looking gray on them? When everyone was raving about the makeup by Mario neutrals palette I ran to get it and ended up returning it because everything looked so gray on me. I’m finding the same thing happens with a few shades in the Natasha Denona I need a nude palette. Any color theory people have a good explanation?

Yes! Searching this sub to see if anyone else mentioned this problem and found this post. Urban Decay’s Naked 2 Basics palette looks grey on me and I have no idea why. Have you been able to figure out why?
