Dried Edamame vs Relaxed Khaki
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 50 vs 36, Relaxed Khaki will read as the brighter of the two — a 15-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 11.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

Dried Edamame vs Relaxed Khaki in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Dried Edamame and Relaxed Khaki 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Relaxed Khaki returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Relaxed Khaki will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Dried Edamame would.
