Showtime vs Babouche
Where Showtime belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Babouche is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Babouche (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Showtime (LRV 54), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Showtime runs yellow and red while Babouche is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
