Jack O'Lantern vs Marigold
Where Jack O'Lantern belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Marigold is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Jack O'Lantern (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Marigold (LRV 30), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
