May Apple vs Angels Gate
May Apple (Behr) and Angels Gate (Benjamin Moore) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 81 vs 81 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where May Apple leans yellow, Angels Gate reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
