Antler Velvet vs Practical Beige

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Antler Velvet belongs to the beige-greige family and Practical Beige to the beige family. Practical Beige (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Antler Velvet (LRV 43), a difference of 3 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. At ΔE 2.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
