Buffalo Trail vs Sun Bleached Ochre
Where Buffalo Trail belongs to PPG's range, Sun Bleached Ochre 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. Sun Bleached Ochre (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Buffalo Trail (LRV 44), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
