Birmingham Cream vs Pineapple Smoothy

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Pineapple Smoothy (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Birmingham Cream (LRV 70), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
