Cotton Balls vs Meadow Mist
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cotton Balls belongs to the beige-white family and Meadow Mist to the beige-yellow family. Cotton Balls (LRV 89) reflects noticeably more light than Meadow Mist (LRV 78), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
