Mayan Gold vs Yarrow
Where Mayan Gold belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Yarrow 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. Yarrow (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Mayan Gold (LRV 40), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mayan Gold runs red while Yarrow is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
