Rattan vs French Gray
Where Rattan belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, French Gray is a Farrow & Ball color. Rattan reads as beige, while French Gray reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. French Gray (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than Rattan (LRV 38), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Rattan runs red while French Gray is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
