Mayonnaise vs San Diego Cream
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Mayonnaise belongs to the beige-yellow family and San Diego Cream to the beige family. Mayonnaise (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than San Diego Cream (LRV 81), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mayonnaise runs yellow while San Diego Cream is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
