Caraïbe vs N470
Where Caraïbe belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, N470 is a Tikkurila color. Caraïbe reads as beige-greige, while N470 reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Caraïbe (LRV 13) reflects noticeably more light than N470 (LRV 10), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
