Café Doppio vs Char Brown

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (8 vs 9), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Café Doppio runs warm while Char Brown is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
