Avenue Tan vs Favorite Jeans

Avenue Tan and Favorite Jeans come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Avenue Tan reads as beige-greige, while Favorite Jeans reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 44 for Avenue Tan vs 35 for Favorite Jeans — means Avenue Tan will open up a space more effectively. Where Avenue Tan leans warm, Favorite Jeans reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 25.1 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.
