Buttercup Fool 5 vs Wild Primrose
Both from Dulux's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Buttercup Fool 5 (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Wild Primrose (LRV 79), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
