Hiking Path vs Simply White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hiking Path reads as beige-greige, while Simply White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Hiking Path (LRV 30), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 40.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
