Corinthian White vs Desolate

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Corinthian White belongs to the beige-white family and Desolate to the beige family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (79 vs 81), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Corinthian White runs yellow and red while Desolate is decidedly red, 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.
