Lemon Peel vs Carys
Where Lemon Peel belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Carys is a Little Greene color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Lemon Peel (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Carys (LRV 79), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
