Buff vs Tibetan Sky

Buff and Tibetan Sky come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Buff reads as beige, while Tibetan Sky reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 5-point LRV gap — 80 for Tibetan Sky vs 75 for Buff — means Tibetan Sky will open up a space more effectively. Where Buff leans warm, Tibetan Sky reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 21.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
