Refreshing Tea vs Springtime
Where Refreshing Tea belongs to Behr's range, Springtime is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Springtime (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Refreshing Tea (LRV 71), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Refreshing Tea runs yellow while Springtime is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
