Wild Wonder vs Koi Pond
Where Wild Wonder belongs to Dulux's range, Koi Pond is a Sherwin-Williams color. Wild Wonder reads as beige, while Koi Pond reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Wild Wonder (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Koi Pond (LRV 44), a difference of 5 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 4.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
