Alpine White vs Cheerful

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Alpine White reads as beige-white, while Cheerful reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Alpine White (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Cheerful (LRV 68), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 53.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
