Pure Joy vs Squish-Squash
Pure Joy and Squish-Squash come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 5-point LRV gap — 78 for Squish-Squash vs 72 for Pure Joy — means Squish-Squash will open up a space more effectively. Both share a yellow character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 26.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
