Bassoon vs Edgy Gold

BassoonLittle GreenevsEdgy GoldSherwin-WilliamsΔE 4.7Noticeable difference

Where Bassoon belongs to Little Greene's range, Edgy Gold is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Bassoon (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Edgy Gold (LRV 32), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bassoon runs red while Edgy Gold is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
