Prentis Cream vs Straw Hat
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Prentis Cream reads as beige-yellow, while Straw Hat reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Prentis Cream (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Straw Hat (LRV 57), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Prentis Cream runs yellow while Straw Hat is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 13.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
