Capitol White vs Niveous

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Capitol White belongs to the beige-white family and Niveous to the beige-yellow family. Capitol White (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Niveous (LRV 75), a difference of 12 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. The ΔE 7.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
