Cellini Gold vs Sweet Mustard

Both from Behr's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Cellini Gold (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Sweet Mustard (LRV 34), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 20.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
