Lemon Meringue vs Venetian Lace
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Venetian Lace (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Lemon Meringue (LRV 83), a difference of 3 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 5.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
