Butter vs No-Nonsense
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 86 vs 73, Butter will read as the brighter of the two — a 13-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a yellow quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 29.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Butter vs No-Nonsense Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Butter on one side and No-Nonsense on the other.
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.
