Garlic Bulb vs White Dove
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Garlic Bulb belongs to the grey family and White Dove to the beige-greige family. White Dove (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Garlic Bulb (LRV 74), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Garlic Bulb runs neutral while White Dove is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
