Cotton White vs Palish Peach
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Cotton White reads as beige-white, while Palish Peach reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (87 vs 85), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
