Ivy League vs Olive yellow
Where Ivy League belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Olive yellow is a RAL Classic color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Olive yellow (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Ivy League (LRV 26), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
