Canvas Tan vs Warm Oats
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Canvas Tan reads as beige, while Warm Oats reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (64 vs 63), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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. 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.
