Middle Buff vs Carrot Cake
Middle Buff (Little Greene) and Carrot Cake (PPG) come from different manufacturers. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 11-point LRV gap — 33 for Carrot Cake vs 22 for Middle Buff — means Carrot Cake will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 16.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
