Soul vs Yellow Beam
Where Soul belongs to Jotun's range, Yellow Beam is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Yellow Beam (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Soul (LRV 80), a difference of 6 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 7.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
