Hay vs Lira
Hay is a Farrow & Ball color while Lira comes from PPG. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 58 vs 54, Hay will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
