Lightning Bug vs White Dove
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Lightning Bug belongs to the beige-yellow family and White Dove to the beige-greige family. White Dove (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Lightning Bug (LRV 72), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 47.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
