Crispy Gold vs Lily

Lily (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Crispy Gold (LRV 35), a difference of 46 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 46.5, the contrast is hard to miss.
