Sail Cloth vs Arrowroote
Where Sail Cloth belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Arrowroote is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Sail Cloth belongs to the beige family and Arrowroote to the beige-greige family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (72 vs 73), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Sail Cloth runs yellow and red while Arrowroote is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 0.5, 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.
Sail Cloth vs Arrowroote in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Sail Cloth and Arrowroote are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.

Sail Cloth vs Arrowroote Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Sail Cloth on one side and Arrowroote on the other.
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.
