Lychee vs Gentle Lamb
Where Lychee belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Gentle Lamb is a Valspar color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Lychee (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Gentle Lamb (LRV 70), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
