Lemon Drop vs Rhinestone

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Lemon Drop belongs to the beige family and Rhinestone to the grey family. Lemon Drop (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Rhinestone (LRV 74), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lemon Drop runs warm while Rhinestone is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
