Beauvais Lilac vs Impressive Ivory
Where Beauvais Lilac belongs to Little Greene's range, Impressive Ivory 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. Impressive Ivory (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Beauvais Lilac (LRV 71), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Beauvais Lilac runs red while Impressive Ivory is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
