Seashell vs Timid White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Seashell reads as beige-yellow, while Timid White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Timid White (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Seashell (LRV 80), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
