Lucerne vs Fescue
Where Lucerne belongs to Jotun's range, Fescue is a Little Greene color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (56 vs 57), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Lucerne runs warm while Fescue is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

Digital color is approximate.
