Birthday Cake vs Lotus Petal
Both from PPG's palette. Hue-wise, Birthday Cake belongs to the pink-red family and Lotus Petal to the beige family. Lotus Petal (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Birthday Cake (LRV 67), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
