Lemon Spirit vs Silk Star
Where Lemon Spirit belongs to Dulux's range, Silk Star is a PPG color. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Lemon Spirit (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Silk Star (LRV 82), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
