Sand vs Beauvais Lilac
Where Sand belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Beauvais Lilac is a Little Greene color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Beauvais Lilac (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Sand (LRV 68), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sand runs warm while Beauvais Lilac is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
