Crestwood Tan vs Avid Apricot
Crestwood Tan (Benjamin Moore) and Avid Apricot (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 61 vs 62 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Crestwood Tan leans red, Avid Apricot reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.9 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
