Rayo de Sol vs They call it Mellow
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. They call it Mellow (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Rayo de Sol (LRV 60), a difference of 20 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. With a ΔE of 35.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
