Kangaroo vs Barcelona Beige
Where Kangaroo belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Barcelona Beige is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Barcelona Beige (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Kangaroo (LRV 44), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Kangaroo runs red while Barcelona Beige is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
