Baby's Breath vs Balboa Mist
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Baby's Breath belongs to the green-white family and Balboa Mist to the beige-greige family. Baby's Breath (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Balboa Mist (LRV 66), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Baby's Breath runs neutral while Balboa Mist is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
