Light ivory vs Colony Buff
Light ivory is a RAL Classic color while Colony Buff comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 68 vs 59, Light ivory will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
