Basil vs Urban Jungle
Where Basil belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Urban Jungle is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (30 vs 31), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 0.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
