May Apple vs Falling Star
May Apple is a Behr color while Falling Star comes from Benjamin Moore. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. At LRV 85 vs 81, Falling Star will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a yellow quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 5.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
