Upbeat vs Daffodil
Where Upbeat belongs to Behr's range, Daffodil is a Sherwin-Williams color. Upbeat reads as beige-yellow, while Daffodil reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Upbeat (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Daffodil (LRV 71), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Upbeat runs yellow while Daffodil is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
