Light Salmon vs Soft Shell

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Light Salmon reads as beige, while Soft Shell reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Soft Shell (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Light Salmon (LRV 68), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
