Sunflower Fields vs Yellow Marigold

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Sunflower Fields belongs to the beige family and Yellow Marigold to the beige-yellow family. Sunflower Fields (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Yellow Marigold (LRV 42), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
