Mayonnaise vs Parchment
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Mayonnaise reads as beige-yellow, while Parchment reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mayonnaise (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Parchment (LRV 80), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mayonnaise runs yellow while Parchment is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
