Mexican Hot Chocolate vs Relic Bronze
Where Mexican Hot Chocolate belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Relic Bronze is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (14 vs 17), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Mexican Hot Chocolate runs red while Relic Bronze is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
