Barely Yellow vs Spring Flowers

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Barely Yellow belongs to the beige-yellow family and Spring Flowers to the blue family. Barely Yellow (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Spring Flowers (LRV 61), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Barely Yellow runs yellow while Spring Flowers is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
