Acorn vs Honeydew
Acorn is a Little Greene color while Honeydew comes from Sherwin-Williams. Acorn reads as yellow, while Honeydew reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 75 vs 70, Acorn will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Acorn's yellow character against Honeydew's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.2, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
