Inner Glow vs Lightning Bug paint color comparison

Inner Glow vs Lightning Bug

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Lightning Bug (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Inner Glow (LRV 66), a difference of 7 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. At ΔE 2.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
