Sequin vs Vital Yellow

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Sequin reads as beige, while Vital Yellow reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Vital Yellow (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Sequin (LRV 57), a difference of 19 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 19.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
