Butter vs Springtime
Where Butter belongs to PPG's range, Springtime 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. Butter (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Springtime (LRV 77), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
