Feather Down vs French Macaroon

Feather Down and French Macaroon come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 73 vs 74 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Feather Down leans warm, French Macaroon reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 1.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
