Beaten Earth vs S 6020-Y30R
Where Beaten Earth belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, S 6020-Y30R is a NCS color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (10 vs 11), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
