Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Flower of Oahu will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Humble Yellow would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Flower of Oahu reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Humble Yellow.
Kitchen

A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Flower of Oahu returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
