Nosegay vs Paper Doll
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Nosegay reads as blue, while Paper Doll reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Paper Doll (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Nosegay (LRV 75), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Nosegay runs blue while Paper Doll is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
