Daffodil White vs Lemon Meringue
Daffodil White (Dulux) and Lemon Meringue (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Daffodil White reads as beige-white, while Lemon Meringue reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 85 vs 83 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 0.4 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
