Mandarin Orange vs Marigold
Where Mandarin Orange belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Marigold is a Little Greene color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Mandarin Orange (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Marigold (LRV 35), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 19.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
