Butter Milk vs First Light
Where Butter Milk belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, First Light is a Little Greene color. Butter Milk reads as beige, while First Light reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. First Light (LRV 92) reflects noticeably more light than Butter Milk (LRV 80), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Butter Milk runs warm while First Light is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
