Apple Slice vs Spinach White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Apple Slice reads as yellow, while Spinach White reads as white-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Apple Slice (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Spinach White (LRV 79), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
