Henderson Buff vs Honey Oak
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Henderson Buff reads as beige-yellow, while Honey Oak reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Henderson Buff (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Honey Oak (LRV 43), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Henderson Buff runs yellow while Honey Oak is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
