Honeybee vs Sunny Side Up
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Honeybee reads as beige, while Sunny Side Up reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sunny Side Up (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Honeybee (LRV 67), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Honeybee runs yellow and red while Sunny Side Up is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
