Simply White vs Soft Fern
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Simply White reads as beige-white, while Soft Fern reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Soft Fern (LRV 57), a difference of 33 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Simply White runs warm while Soft Fern is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
