Heirloom vs Spun Sugar
Where Heirloom belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Spun Sugar is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Heirloom (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Spun Sugar (LRV 68), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Heirloom runs red while Spun Sugar is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. 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.
