Fresh Zest vs Ionic Ivory
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Fresh Zest reads as beige, while Ionic Ivory reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fresh Zest (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Ionic Ivory (LRV 74), a difference of 8 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 4.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.
