ᐅ What does the color "sto 16024, HB 81, C1" mean? Correction of a wrong decision.

As mentioned in another thread, during the sample selection we chose the exterior facade color (including the base) "sto 16024, HB 81, C1," described as "silicone resin, diffusely open," "scratch render K3." On the small sample card, the color appeared very warm and light, which is exactly what we wanted. However, when I searched online for this color, I only found a sample for "sto 16024" (see photo), which looks much too dark to me.
Does anyone know what the additional labels "HB 81, C1" mean and whether they indicate that the color overall is lighter than "sto 16024"? Your feedback is very important to me, as we still have the option to change the color choice at the moment. Thank you in advance. :-)

I think it’s more yellow than beige. What do the other forum members think? Isn’t the name irrelevant as long as you like it? 🙂
To add to the confusion: I have two monitors that I can’t calibrate to look the same (the graphic designer would cry, but I’ve accepted it). On one, it looks yellowish to slightly orange, on the other almost green (oops).
Beige is somewhere in that range anyway... When I google it and look at pictures, I’m surprised how many things are called beige (some even have a greenish tint—on my better monitor too 😉 and also according to the HSV color values). Beige wasn’t my first association there.

For me, it was like this: I chose a similar shade, but every wall looked different. And it changed even throughout the day. In the morning sun, it was too bright; at dusk, too dark. The way the light hits it has a huge effect.
If you want to be sure, have a base coat and a bucket of the desired color delivered, and test it on different sides of the house.
I ordered colored render, not Sto but Baumit. The house was finished. Months later, I started on the outbuilding. That was in autumn last year. I started, and 5 meters (16 feet) away was the house wall. The color tone was completely different — much lighter. Same base coat, same color, same render. I took photos and went to the building materials supplier the next day. I wanted to complain. It was totally obvious.
The supplier said it was all from one batch and they don’t accept complaints. Hmm. So I had no choice but to continue rendering. Took photos, kept thinking about it, couldn’t believe it and wondered what was going on.
After two days, everything was completely dry, and as if by magic, the color actually darkened to match the tone on the house. Apart from making a fool of myself with my supplier, everything turned out fine.
I was also recently in a new development area, checking out the exterior render. I rarely saw such poor quality. Patchy paint, uneven base coat, not properly smoothed or maybe too long a wait before finishing. I wouldn’t have accepted that like this. Unfortunately, no photos. The quality on display there was beyond words.

The color on a 50m³ (1,765ft³) wall looks completely different than on a paint sample.
Seeing houses through sales presentations is the best method.

@Pinkiponk
That should be the right one. It’s not the toxic-looking one with a higher green tint, but a nice light yellow 🙂
