Palace Ochre vs Spice Market
Palace Ochre and Spice Market come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Palace Ochre reads as beige, while Spice Market reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 34 vs 36 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Palace Ochre leans red, Spice Market reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
