Dormer Brown vs Meadowlark

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Dormer Brown (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Meadowlark (LRV 24), 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 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
