Dark Mustard vs Mayonnaise
Dark Mustard and Mayonnaise come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Dark Mustard reads as beige, while Mayonnaise reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 64-point LRV gap — 88 for Mayonnaise vs 24 for Dark Mustard — means Mayonnaise will open up a space more effectively. Where Dark Mustard leans red, Mayonnaise reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 48.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
