Mellow Yellow vs Yellow Tail
Mellow Yellow (Benjamin Moore) and Yellow Tail (Cloverdale Paint) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. The 7-point LRV gap — 85 for Yellow Tail vs 78 for Mellow Yellow — means Yellow Tail will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
