Refined vs Simply White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Refined belongs to the beige-greige family and Simply White to the beige-white family. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Refined (LRV 72), a difference of 18 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 9.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
