Counting Stars vs Narcissus
Where Counting Stars belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Narcissus 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 (83 vs 83), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Counting Stars runs yellow while Narcissus is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.5, 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.
