Cardboard vs Iced Mocha

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Cardboard reads as beige, while Iced Mocha reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Iced Mocha (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Cardboard (LRV 22), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
