Pale Straw vs White Marigold
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Pale Straw belongs to the beige-yellow family and White Marigold to the beige-white family. Pale Straw (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than White Marigold (LRV 77), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.3 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.
