Happy Valley vs Morning Light
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Happy Valley belongs to the beige-yellow family and Morning Light to the beige family. Morning Light (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Happy Valley (LRV 77), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Happy Valley runs yellow while Morning Light is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
