Pale Hound vs Springtime
Pale Hound (Farrow & Ball) and Springtime (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 77 for Springtime vs 72 for Pale Hound — means Springtime 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. ΔE 7.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
