Sharp Cheddar vs Moroccan Flame
Where Sharp Cheddar belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Moroccan Flame is a Dulux color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Sharp Cheddar (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Moroccan Flame (LRV 28), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sharp Cheddar runs red while Moroccan Flame is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
