Woodacres vs Sandy
Where Woodacres belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Sandy is a Jotun color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Sandy (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Woodacres (LRV 26), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Woodacres runs red while Sandy is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
