Copper Wire vs Yam
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Copper Wire reads as beige-pink, while Yam reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Copper Wire (LRV 27) reflects noticeably more light than Yam (LRV 23), a difference of 3 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. With a ΔE of 10.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
