Vanilla Milkshake vs White Heron
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Vanilla Milkshake belongs to the beige-greige family and White Heron to the white-yellow family. White Heron (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Vanilla Milkshake (LRV 81), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Vanilla Milkshake runs warm while White Heron is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
