Banana Yellow vs Crème Fraiche
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. Crème Fraiche (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Banana Yellow (LRV 75), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Banana Yellow runs yellow while Crème Fraiche is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 51.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
