Pure Earth vs Sandy Ridge
Where Pure Earth belongs to Behr's range, Sandy Ridge is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Pure Earth (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Sandy Ridge (LRV 28), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pure Earth runs red while Sandy Ridge is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
