Aventurine vs Spring Thaw
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aventurine reads as yellow, while Spring Thaw reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spring Thaw (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Aventurine (LRV 32), a difference of 30 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 23.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
