Olive yellow vs Tangled Twine
Where Olive yellow belongs to RAL Classic's range, Tangled Twine is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Olive yellow (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Tangled Twine (LRV 27), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
