Abstracta vs Cotton Balls

Abstracta and Cotton Balls come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Abstracta reads as beige-yellow, while Cotton Balls reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 31-point LRV gap — 89 for Cotton Balls vs 58 for Abstracta — means Cotton Balls will open up a space more effectively. Both share a yellow character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 75.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
