May Apple vs Lemon Soufflé
Where May Apple belongs to Behr's range, Lemon Soufflé is a Benjamin Moore color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (81 vs 84), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. May Apple runs yellow while Lemon Soufflé is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
