Vapor vs New Meringue
Vapor is a Benjamin Moore color while New Meringue comes from Dulux. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. At LRV 86 vs 82, New Meringue will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Vapor's yellow character against New Meringue's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 0.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
