Cork Wedge vs Outerbanks
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Cork Wedge belongs to the beige family and Outerbanks to the beige-greige family. Cork Wedge (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Outerbanks (LRV 39), a difference of 3 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 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
