Millstream vs Pale Honey
Both from Behr's palette. Millstream reads as blue, while Pale Honey reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pale Honey (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Millstream (LRV 61), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Millstream runs blue while Pale Honey is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
