Yellow Iris vs Yin Yang

Yellow IrisBenjamin MoorevsYin YangBenjamin MooreΔE 58.1 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Yellow Iris belongs to the beige-yellow family and Yin Yang to the blue family. Yellow Iris (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Yin Yang (LRV 23), a difference of 54 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Yellow Iris runs yellow while Yin Yang is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 58.1, 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.
