Rain Barrel vs Resort Tan

Rain BarrelPPGvsResort TanSherwin-WilliamsΔE 2.5Subtle difference

Rain Barrel is a PPG color while Resort Tan comes from Sherwin-Williams. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 22 vs 19, Resort Tan will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.5, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
