Horseradish vs Wayward Wind

Both from PPG's palette. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Horseradish (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Wayward Wind (LRV 63), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 27.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
