Ivory vs Macadamia
Ivory is a RAL Classic color while Macadamia comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 58 vs 49, Ivory will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 8.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
