Chameleon vs Honeydew
Where Chameleon belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Honeydew is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (71 vs 70), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Chameleon runs yellow while Honeydew is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Chameleon on one side and Honeydew on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
