Melon Cup vs Simply White

Melon Cup and Simply White come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Melon Cup reads as beige, while Simply White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 26-point LRV gap — 90 for Simply White vs 64 for Melon Cup — means Simply White will open up a space more effectively. Where Melon Cup leans red, Simply White reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 19.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
