Acorn Squash vs Escapade Gold
Where Acorn Squash belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Escapade Gold is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Escapade Gold (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Acorn Squash (LRV 31), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Acorn Squash runs red while Escapade Gold is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 3.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
