Feather SoftBenjamin MoorevsLimelightBenjamin MooreΔE 75.8 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Feather Soft belongs to the blue family and Limelight to the beige-yellow family. Limelight (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Feather Soft (LRV 57), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Feather Soft runs blue while Limelight is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 75.8, the contrast is hard to miss.

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.
