Limelight vs Southern Belle
Limelight and Southern Belle come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Limelight reads as beige-yellow, while Southern Belle reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 57-point LRV gap — 68 for Limelight vs 12 for Southern Belle — means Limelight will open up a space more effectively. Where Limelight leans yellow, Southern Belle reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 110.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
