Shortbread vs Oak Buff
Where Shortbread belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Oak Buff is a PPG color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Shortbread (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Oak Buff (LRV 69), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
