Lightning Storm vs Apple
Lightning Storm (Benjamin Moore) and Apple (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 25-point LRV gap — 80 for Lightning Storm vs 55 for Apple — means Lightning Storm will open up a space more effectively. Both share a yellow character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 14.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Lightning Storm on one side and Apple on the other.
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.
