Crumb Cake vs Simply White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Crumb Cake belongs to the beige family and Simply White to the beige-white family. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Crumb Cake (LRV 63), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Crumb Cake runs warm while Simply White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
