Cotton Balls vs White Dove
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cotton Balls belongs to the beige-white family and White Dove to the beige-greige family. Cotton Balls (LRV 89) reflects noticeably more light than White Dove (LRV 83), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cotton Balls runs warm while White Dove is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
