Celery Salt vs Cotton Balls
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Celery Salt reads as beige-yellow, while Cotton Balls reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cotton Balls (LRV 89) reflects noticeably more light than Celery Salt (LRV 75), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Celery Salt runs warm while Cotton Balls is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
