Pearl beige (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than Sycamore (LRV 20), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Sycamore vs Pearl beige in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Sycamore and Pearl beige are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
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 Pearl beige will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Sycamore would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Pearl beige reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Sycamore.

Digital color is approximate.
