Clear Yellow vs Snowbound
Where Clear Yellow belongs to PPG's range, Snowbound is a Sherwin-Williams color. Clear Yellow reads as beige-yellow, while Snowbound reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Clear Yellow (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Snowbound (LRV 83), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
