Golden Pastel vs Crescent Cream
Where Golden Pastel belongs to Behr's range, Crescent Cream is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Golden Pastel (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Crescent Cream (LRV 67), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Golden Pastel runs red while Crescent Cream is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
