Ivy League vs New Retro
Ivy League and New Retro come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Ivy League reads as beige-greige, while New Retro reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 50-point LRV gap — 77 for New Retro vs 26 for Ivy League — means New Retro will open up a space more effectively. Where Ivy League leans yellow, New Retro reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 35.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
