Taupe vs Quiver Tan
Where Taupe belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Quiver Tan is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (22 vs 22), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 0.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
