Sweet Butter vs Yellow Ground
Where Sweet Butter belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Yellow Ground is a Farrow & Ball color. Sweet Butter reads as beige, while Yellow Ground reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sweet Butter (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Yellow Ground (LRV 64), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sweet Butter runs red while Yellow Ground is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
