Double Latte vs Tarragon
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Double Latte reads as beige-greige, while Tarragon reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Double Latte (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Tarragon (LRV 7), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Double Latte runs warm while Tarragon is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 37.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Double Latte vs Tarragon in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Double Latte and Tarragon in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Double Latte will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Tarragon would.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Double Latte returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.
