Mushroom Cap vs Friendly Yellow
Where Mushroom Cap belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Friendly Yellow is a Sherwin-Williams color. Mushroom Cap reads as beige, while Friendly Yellow reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Friendly Yellow (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Mushroom Cap (LRV 73), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mushroom Cap runs red while Friendly Yellow is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
