Mosaic vs Pale Straw
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Mosaic belongs to the blue family and Pale Straw to the beige-yellow family. Pale Straw (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Mosaic (LRV 15), a difference of 72 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mosaic runs blue while Pale Straw is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 77.6, 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.
