Lily vs Morning Sun
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Lily belongs to the beige-yellow family and Morning Sun to the beige family. With LRVs of 81 and 80, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 7.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
