Lantern Light vs Yellow Bird
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Lantern Light belongs to the beige family and Yellow Bird to the beige-yellow family. Lantern Light (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Yellow Bird (LRV 64), a difference of 12 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. With a ΔE of 19.3, the contrast is hard to miss.
