Butter Cookie vs Capitol White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Butter Cookie belongs to the beige-yellow family and Capitol White to the beige-white family. Capitol White (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Butter Cookie (LRV 72), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 12.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
