Dark Buff vs Tailored Tan
Where Dark Buff belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Tailored Tan is a Cloverdale Paint color. Dark Buff reads as beige-greige, while Tailored Tan reads as beige-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tailored Tan (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Dark Buff (LRV 35), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
