Lemon Drop vs Lily

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Lemon Drop reads as beige, while Lily reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lemon Drop (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Lily (LRV 81), a difference of 7 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 8.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
