Chamomile vs Lemon Meringue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Chamomile reads as beige-yellow, while Lemon Meringue reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lemon Meringue (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Chamomile (LRV 75), a difference of 8 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 3.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
