Muslin vs Sand
Where Muslin belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Sand is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (67 vs 68), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Muslin runs red while Sand is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 0.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
