Gray Mirage vs Pale Daffodil
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Gray Mirage belongs to the beige-greige family and Pale Daffodil to the beige family. Pale Daffodil (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Mirage (LRV 54), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gray Mirage runs yellow while Pale Daffodil is decidedly red, 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.
