Albany White vs Cloud White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-whites, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-white to land. Cloud White (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Albany White (LRV 75), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Albany White runs warm while Cloud White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
