Ancient Ivory vs Minced Onion
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Minced Onion (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Ancient Ivory (LRV 80), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ancient Ivory runs warm while Minced Onion is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
