Feather Down vs Misty Air

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Feather Down belongs to the beige family and Misty Air to the beige-yellow family. Feather Down (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Misty Air (LRV 70), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Feather Down runs yellow and red while Misty Air is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
