Fresh Zest vs Lemon Drop

Fresh Zest and Lemon Drop come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 87 for Lemon Drop vs 82 for Fresh Zest — means Lemon Drop will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 3.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
