Elephant Tusk vs Royal Silk
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Royal Silk (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Elephant Tusk (LRV 70), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Elephant Tusk runs yellow while Royal Silk is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
