Imperial Yellow vs Squish-Squash

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. At LRV 78 vs 58, Squish-Squash will read as the brighter of the two — a 20-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Imperial Yellow's red character against Squish-Squash's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 32.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
