Mayonnaise vs Soot
Mayonnaise and Soot come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Mayonnaise belongs to the beige-yellow family and Soot to the blue-grey family. The 82-point LRV gap — 88 for Mayonnaise vs 6 for Soot — means Mayonnaise will open up a space more effectively. Where Mayonnaise leans warm, Soot reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 72.4 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.
