Fresh Butter vs Governors Gold
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Fresh Butter reads as beige-yellow, while Governors Gold reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fresh Butter (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Governors Gold (LRV 66), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fresh Butter runs yellow while Governors Gold is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
