Derby Brown vs Shoji White
Derby Brown (PPG) and Shoji White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 56-point LRV gap — 74 for Shoji White vs 18 for Derby Brown — means Shoji White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 39.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
