Sweet Nectar vs Light ivory
Where Sweet Nectar belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Light ivory is a RAL Classic color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Sweet Nectar (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Light ivory (LRV 68), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
