Tea Light vs Yellow Iris
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Tea Light reads as green-yellow, while Yellow Iris reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Yellow Iris (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Tea Light (LRV 60), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tea Light runs green while Yellow Iris is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
