Sand Dunes vs Timid White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Sand Dunes reads as beige, while Timid White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Timid White (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Sand Dunes (LRV 70), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sand Dunes runs red while Timid White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
