Cork vs Sweet Mustard

CorkBehrvsSweet MustardBehrΔE 17.6 — Distinct difference

Cork and Sweet Mustard come from the same Behr collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 12-point LRV gap — 46 for Cork vs 34 for Sweet Mustard — means Cork will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 17.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
