Fresh Pasta vs Butter Up
Where Fresh Pasta belongs to Jotun's range, Butter Up is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Butter Up (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Fresh Pasta (LRV 70), 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 9.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
