Nightfall vs Friar's Brown
Where Nightfall belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Friar's Brown is a PPG color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Nightfall (LRV 11) reflects noticeably more light than Friar's Brown (LRV 8), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
