Old Gold vs Humble Yellow
Where Old Gold belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Humble Yellow is a Jotun color. Old Gold reads as beige, while Humble Yellow reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Humble Yellow (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Old Gold (LRV 43), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Old Gold runs red while Humble Yellow is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
