Lemon Sponge Cake vs Golden Straw
Where Lemon Sponge Cake belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Golden Straw is a PPG color.

Lemon Sponge Cake (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Golden Straw (LRV 81), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
