Frosting Cream vs Cottage Cream
Where Frosting Cream belongs to Behr's range, Cottage Cream is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Frosting Cream (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Cottage Cream (LRV 72), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Frosting Cream runs red while Cottage Cream is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
