Golden Yarrow vs N391

Golden YarrowPPGvsN391TikkurilaΔE 14.6Distinct difference

Golden Yarrow (PPG) and N391 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. The 16-point LRV gap — 54 for Golden Yarrow vs 38 for N391 — means Golden Yarrow will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 14.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
