Ancient Oak vs Restoration Ivory
Where Ancient Oak belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Restoration Ivory is a Sherwin-Williams color. Ancient Oak reads as beige-yellow, while Restoration Ivory reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Restoration Ivory (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Ancient Oak (LRV 73), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
