Shoelace vs Silky White
Both from Behr's palette. Hue-wise, Shoelace belongs to the beige family and Silky White to the beige-greige family. Silky White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Shoelace (LRV 78), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Shoelace runs red while Silky White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
