Antique White vs Caraïbe
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Antique White belongs to the beige-white family and Caraïbe to the beige-greige family. Antique White (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Caraïbe (LRV 13), a difference of 60 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 46.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.
