Candle White vs Futon
Where Candle White belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Futon is a Sherwin-Williams color. Candle White reads as beige-white, while Futon reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (79 vs 80), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Candle White runs red while Futon is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
