Deep in Thought vs Tea Light
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Deep in Thought reads as beige-yellow, while Tea Light reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Deep in Thought (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Tea Light (LRV 60), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Deep in Thought runs warm while Tea Light is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
