Butter Pecan vs Cotton Balls
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Butter Pecan reads as beige, while Cotton Balls reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cotton Balls (LRV 89) reflects noticeably more light than Butter Pecan (LRV 86), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Butter Pecan runs warm while Cotton Balls is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
