Buff Tone vs Alpaca
Buff Tone is a Behr color while Alpaca comes from Benjamin Moore. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 66 vs 59, Buff Tone will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a red quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 4.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
