Lichen vs Willow Herb
Both from PPG's palette. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Willow Herb (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Lichen (LRV 30), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.
