Botany Beige vs Bauhaus Buff
Where Botany Beige belongs to PPG's range, Bauhaus Buff 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. Botany Beige (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Bauhaus Buff (LRV 72), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
