October Sky vs A La Mode
October Sky is a Benjamin Moore color while A La Mode comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 85 vs 81, A La Mode will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 1.1, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
