Mandarin vs Chinese Lantern
Mandarin is a Behr color while Chinese Lantern comes from PPG. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. With LRVs of 35 and 37, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
