The 45-point LRV gap — 69 for Starry Night vs 24 for Meadowlark — means Starry Night will open up a space more effectively. Where Meadowlark leans warm, Starry Night reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
