Garden Spot vs Gecko
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Gecko (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Garden Spot (LRV 17), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 18.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.
