Light ivory vs Colony Buff

Light ivoryRAL ClassicvsColony BuffSherwin-WilliamsΔE 4.3Noticeable difference

Light ivory is a RAL Classic color while Colony Buff 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 68 vs 59, Light 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 4.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
