Electric Slide vs Steam

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Electric Slide belongs to the yellow family and Steam to the beige-greige family. Steam (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Electric Slide (LRV 55), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 56.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
