Cornsilk vs Damask Yellow

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cornsilk reads as beige, while Damask Yellow reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cornsilk (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Damask Yellow (LRV 61), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow and red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 17.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
