Honey Oak vs Turning Leaf
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Honey Oak belongs to the beige family and Turning Leaf to the beige-yellow family. Honey Oak (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than Turning Leaf (LRV 35), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Honey Oak runs yellow and red while Turning Leaf is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
