Market Square Shell vs Bone
Where Market Square Shell belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Bone is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Bone (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Market Square Shell (LRV 50), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Market Square Shell runs yellow while Bone is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
