Barely There vs Winter White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Barely There reads as beige-greige, while Winter White reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (78 vs 80), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Barely There runs yellow while Winter White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
