Saffron StrandsBehrvsSweet MustardBehrΔE 2.7 — Subtle difference

Both from Behr's palette. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Saffron Strands (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Sweet Mustard (LRV 34), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. 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.

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.
