Carrot Cake vs Gingerbread
Both from PPG's palette. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Carrot Cake (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than Gingerbread (LRV 28), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
