Camel Tan vs Ethereal
Both from PPG's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Ethereal (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Camel Tan (LRV 71), a difference of 3 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. 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.
