Lily vs Venetian Lace
Lily and Venetian Lace come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Lily belongs to the beige-yellow family and Venetian Lace to the beige family. The 5-point LRV gap — 86 for Venetian Lace vs 81 for Lily — means Venetian Lace will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 10.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Lily on one side and Venetian Lace on the other.
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.
