Hay Stack vs Squish-Squash
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 81 vs 78, Hay Stack will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a yellow quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 4.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
