Mansfield Tan vs Straw Hat

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Mansfield Tan (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Straw Hat (LRV 57), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mansfield Tan runs warm while Straw Hat is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
