Arrowroote vs Greek Villa
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Arrowroote belongs to the beige-greige family and Greek Villa to the beige family. Greek Villa (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Arrowroote (LRV 73), a difference of 11 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. The ΔE 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
