Dulce de Leche vs Stoneware
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Dulce de Leche reads as beige, while Stoneware reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Stoneware (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Dulce de Leche (LRV 65), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dulce de Leche runs red while Stoneware is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
