Beige vs Mesa Tan
Where Beige belongs to RAL Classic's range, Mesa Tan 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. Beige (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Mesa Tan (LRV 36), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
