Gilded Ballroom vs Simple Pleasures
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Simple Pleasures (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Gilded Ballroom (LRV 35), a difference of 4 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. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
