ΔE 7.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Honey Cream vs Milky Way in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Honey Cream and Milky Way are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Honey Cream reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Milky Way.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Honey Cream returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
