Spanish Sand vs Bleached Lichen 3

Spanish SandBehrvsBleached Lichen 3DuluxΔE 1.6Subtle difference

Spanish Sand is a Behr color while Bleached Lichen 3 comes from Dulux. Spanish Sand reads as beige, while Bleached Lichen 3 reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 67 vs 64, Bleached Lichen 3 will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Spanish Sand's red character against Bleached Lichen 3's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 1.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
