Dove Wing vs Wish
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Dove Wing belongs to the beige-greige family and Wish to the greige-grey family. Dove Wing (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Wish (LRV 59), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dove Wing runs yellow while Wish is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.
