Arcade White vs Futon
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Arcade White belongs to the beige-white family and Futon to the beige family. Arcade White (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Futon (LRV 80), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.
