Acadia White vs New Meringue
Where Acadia White belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, New Meringue is a Dulux color. Acadia White reads as beige-white, while New Meringue reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. New Meringue (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Acadia White (LRV 83), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Acadia White runs yellow while New Meringue is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
