Midnight Navy vs Yellow Iris

Midnight Navy and Yellow Iris come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Midnight Navy belongs to the blue family and Yellow Iris to the beige-yellow family. The 72-point LRV gap — 77 for Yellow Iris vs 5 for Midnight Navy — means Yellow Iris will open up a space more effectively. Where Midnight Navy leans blue and purple, Yellow Iris reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 82.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
