Safari vs Shortcake
Safari (Benjamin Moore) and Shortcake (Cloverdale Paint) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 7-point LRV gap — 71 for Shortcake vs 64 for Safari — means Shortcake will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.6 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
