Soul vs Lemon Meringue
Soul (Jotun) and Lemon Meringue (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Soul belongs to the beige-yellow family and Lemon Meringue to the beige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 80 vs 83 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 7.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
