Limelight vs Oriental Iris

Limelight and Oriental Iris come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Limelight reads as beige-yellow, while Oriental Iris reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 16-point LRV gap — 68 for Limelight vs 52 for Oriental Iris — means Limelight will open up a space more effectively. Where Limelight leans yellow, Oriental Iris reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 78.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
