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.
