Firefly vs Traditional Yellow

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Firefly belongs to the beige family and Traditional Yellow to the beige-yellow family. Traditional Yellow (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Firefly (LRV 55), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 26.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
