Grain vs Tiki Hut
Where Grain belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Tiki Hut 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 (17 vs 17), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 0.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
