Twisted Tail vs Olive yellow
Twisted Tail (PPG) and Olive yellow (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 29 for Olive yellow vs 24 for Twisted Tail — means Olive yellow will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 4.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
