Horseradish vs Mental Note
Both from PPG's palette. Horseradish reads as beige-yellow, while Mental Note reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mental Note (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Horseradish (LRV 81), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.
