Gentle Butterfly vs Key Pearl
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Gentle Butterfly reads as beige-pink, while Key Pearl reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Gentle Butterfly (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Key Pearl (LRV 78), a difference of 3 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. At ΔE 1.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

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.
