Hephaestus vs Almond Brittle
Hephaestus is a Cloverdale Paint color while Almond Brittle comes from PPG. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 68 vs 65, Hephaestus will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 1.1, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
