Dayroom Yellow vs Tainted Gold
Where Dayroom Yellow belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Tainted Gold is a PPG color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Dayroom Yellow (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Tainted Gold (LRV 65), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
