Timber Beam vs Olive yellow
Timber Beam is a PPG color while Olive yellow comes from RAL Classic. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 29 vs 24, Olive yellow will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
