Black Bean vs Woodsy Brown
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Black Bean reads as grey, while Woodsy Brown reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 4 and 3, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 8.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
