Banan-Appeal vs Deep in Thought
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Banan-Appeal (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Deep in Thought (LRV 80), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Banan-Appeal runs yellow while Deep in Thought is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.5, the contrast is hard to miss.
