Lemon Glow vs Butter
Where Lemon Glow belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Butter is a PPG color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Lemon Glow (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Butter (LRV 82), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
