Spotlight vs Bright Laughter
Where Spotlight belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Bright Laughter is a PPG color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Spotlight (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Bright Laughter (LRV 82), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
