Fairway Oaks vs Expance
Where Fairway Oaks belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Expance is a Tikkurila color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Expance (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Fairway Oaks (LRV 46), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
