Yellow Iris vs Ylang Ylang
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Yellow Iris belongs to the beige-yellow family and Ylang Ylang to the beige family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (77 vs 80), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Yellow Iris runs yellow while Ylang Ylang is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
