Acorn Yellow vs Antique Yellow
Where Acorn Yellow belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Antique Yellow is a Jotun color. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Antique Yellow (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Acorn Yellow (LRV 41), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Acorn Yellow runs red while Antique Yellow is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
