Natural Sand vs Concord Buff
Where Natural Sand belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Concord Buff 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. Concord Buff (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Natural Sand (LRV 65), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Natural Sand runs red while Concord Buff is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
