Cord vs Toasted Pine Nut

CordFarrow & BallvsToasted Pine NutSherwin-WilliamsΔE 3.2Noticeable difference

Cord is a Farrow & Ball color while Toasted Pine Nut comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 58 vs 55, Toasted Pine Nut will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 3.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
