Bright Laughter vs Carambola
Bright Laughter is a PPG color while Carambola comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. With LRVs of 82 and 82, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.2, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
