Firelight vs Spiced Butternut
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. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (68 vs 70), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
