Dead Salmon vs Interface Tan
Where Dead Salmon belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Interface Tan is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Interface Tan (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Dead Salmon (LRV 36), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
