Medieval Times vs Olive yellow
Medieval Times (Benjamin Moore) and Olive yellow (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 34 for Medieval Times vs 29 for Olive yellow — means Medieval Times will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 14.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
