Princeton Gold vs Turning Leaf
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Princeton Gold reads as beige, while Turning Leaf reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Princeton Gold (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Turning Leaf (LRV 35), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Princeton Gold runs red while Turning Leaf is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.0 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.
