Showtime vs Yellow Topaz

Showtime and Yellow Topaz come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Showtime reads as beige, while Yellow Topaz reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 8-point LRV gap — 62 for Yellow Topaz vs 54 for Showtime — means Yellow Topaz will open up a space more effectively. Where Showtime leans yellow and red, Yellow Topaz reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 16.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
