Light ivory vs Buff
Light ivory (RAL Classic) and Buff (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 8-point LRV gap — 75 for Buff vs 68 for Light ivory — means Buff will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 4.5 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.
