Rye vs Toffee
Rye (Cloverdale Paint) and Toffee (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 37 for Toffee vs 32 for Rye — means Toffee will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
