Daffodil vs Yellow Bird
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Daffodil reads as beige, while Yellow Bird reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Daffodil (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Yellow Bird (LRV 64), a difference of 7 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 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
