Sweet Salmon vs Tallow
Where Sweet Salmon belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Tallow is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Tallow (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Sweet Salmon (LRV 78), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sweet Salmon runs red while Tallow is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
