Butter Up vs Sunbeam Yellow

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Butter Up belongs to the beige family and Sunbeam Yellow to the beige-yellow family. Butter Up (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Sunbeam Yellow (LRV 68), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
