Honey Bee vs Butter Up
Honey Bee is a PPG color while Butter Up comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. With LRVs of 74 and 74, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.0, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
