Lemon Meringue vs Dough
Lemon Meringue is a Sherwin-Williams color while Dough comes from Tikkurila. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. With LRVs of 83 and 82, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 6.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
