Caffeine vs Resort Tan
Where Caffeine belongs to Behr's range, Resort Tan is a Sherwin-Williams color. Caffeine reads as greige-grey, while Resort Tan reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (20 vs 22), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Caffeine runs red while Resort Tan is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
