Washed Linen vs In The Buff
Where Washed Linen belongs to Jotun's range, In The Buff is a PPG color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. In The Buff (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Washed Linen (LRV 55), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
