Wilmington Tan vs Hay
Where Wilmington Tan belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Hay 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. Hay (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Wilmington Tan (LRV 45), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Wilmington Tan runs red while Hay is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
