Explorer Khaki vs China Clay
Where Explorer Khaki belongs to Behr's range, China Clay is a Cloverdale Paint color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Explorer Khaki (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than China Clay (LRV 39), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
