Silver Marlin vs Papyrus white
Silver Marlin (Benjamin Moore) and Papyrus white (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers.

The 3-point LRV gap — 59 for Papyrus white vs 56 for Silver Marlin — means Papyrus white will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
