Auric vs N391
Auric (Sherwin-Williams) and N391 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Auric reads as beige, while N391 reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 8-point LRV gap — 38 for N391 vs 30 for Auric — means N391 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 22.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Auric vs N391 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Auric on one side and N391 on the other.
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.
