Mayonnaise vs White Down

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Mayonnaise reads as beige-yellow, while White Down reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mayonnaise (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than White Down (LRV 77), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mayonnaise runs warm while White Down is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
