Butter Milk vs Lighthouse
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Butter Milk reads as beige, while Lighthouse reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lighthouse (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Butter Milk (LRV 80), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Butter Milk runs warm while Lighthouse is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

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.
