Colonial Yellow vs White Raisin
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Colonial Yellow belongs to the beige-yellow family and White Raisin to the beige-white family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (60 vs 57), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
