With LRVs of 63 and 63, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Delaware Putty's yellow and red character against Spa's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 3.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
