Vellum vs Mella Yella
Vellum (Benjamin Moore) and Mella Yella (Cloverdale Paint) come from different manufacturers. Vellum reads as beige, while Mella Yella reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 73 for Mella Yella vs 63 for Vellum — means Mella Yella will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.
