London Stone vs Artisan Tan

London StoneFarrow & BallvsArtisan TanSherwin-WilliamsΔE 7.8Noticeable difference

London Stone is a Farrow & Ball color while Artisan Tan comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 38 vs 33, London Stone will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-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 7.8, 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.
