Delicate White vs Honey Beige

Both from PPG's palette. Delicate White reads as white, while Honey Beige reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Delicate White (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Honey Beige (LRV 76), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 15.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
