Friendly Yellow vs Lemonade
Where Friendly Yellow belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Lemonade is a Tikkurila color. Friendly Yellow reads as beige-yellow, while Lemonade reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lemonade (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Friendly Yellow (LRV 76), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
