Navajo White vs White Dove
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Navajo White reads as beige-white, while White Dove reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Dove (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Navajo White (LRV 78), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Navajo White runs red while White Dove is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
