Dayroom Yellow vs Hay

Both from Farrow & Ball's palette. Dayroom Yellow reads as beige-yellow, while Hay reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Dayroom Yellow (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Hay (LRV 58), a difference of 17 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. With a ΔE of 12.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
