Boardwalk vs Pale Moon
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Boardwalk reads as beige, while Pale Moon reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pale Moon (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Boardwalk (LRV 47), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Boardwalk runs red while Pale Moon is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
