Mohave Desert vs Light ivory
Where Mohave Desert belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Light ivory is a RAL Classic color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Light ivory (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Mohave Desert (LRV 64), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
