Light Touch vs Soft White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Light Touch belongs to the blue-green family and Soft White to the beige-white family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (83 vs 83), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Light Touch runs green while Soft White is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
