BiscuitSherwin-WilliamsvsHomburg GraySherwin-WilliamsΔE 44.7Very different colors

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Biscuit reads as beige, while Homburg Gray reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Biscuit (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Homburg Gray (LRV 15), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Biscuit runs warm while Homburg Gray is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 44.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
