Orange Sky vs Laughing Orange
Where Orange Sky belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Laughing Orange 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. Orange Sky (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Laughing Orange (LRV 42), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Orange Sky runs red while Laughing Orange is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
