Barely Beige vs Ivory White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Barely Beige belongs to the beige family and Ivory White to the beige-white family. Ivory White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Barely Beige (LRV 71), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
