Meditation vs Paper Mache
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Meditation reads as beige-greige, while Paper Mache reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Paper Mache (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Meditation (LRV 36), a difference of 48 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 28.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
