Sweet Melon vs Golden Ivory
Where Sweet Melon belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Golden Ivory is a Dulux color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Sweet Melon (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Golden Ivory (LRV 63), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sweet Melon runs red while Golden Ivory is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
