Chinese Lantern vs Orange Poppy
Both from PPG's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Chinese Lantern (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Orange Poppy (LRV 34), a difference of 3 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.
