Basket Beige vs Dhurrie Beige
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Basket Beige belongs to the beige family and Dhurrie Beige to the beige-greige family. Dhurrie Beige (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Basket Beige (LRV 41), a difference of 9 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 9.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Basket Beige vs Dhurrie Beige in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Basket Beige and Dhurrie Beige are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Dhurrie Beige will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Basket Beige would.
Bathroom

House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Dhurrie Beige reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Basket Beige.

Digital color is approximate.
