Sunflower vs Yellow Highlighter
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Sunflower reads as beige, while Yellow Highlighter reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Yellow Highlighter (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Sunflower (LRV 57), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sunflower runs yellow and red while Yellow Highlighter is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
