Delaware Putty vs White Down

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Delaware Putty reads as beige, while White Down reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Down (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Delaware Putty (LRV 63), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Delaware Putty runs yellow and red while White Down is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
