Golden Straw vs White Dove
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Golden Straw belongs to the beige family and White Dove to the beige-greige family. White Dove (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Golden Straw (LRV 70), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Golden Straw runs red while White Dove is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
