Gorgeous White vs Interface Tan
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Gorgeous White reads as beige-white, while Interface Tan reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Gorgeous White (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Interface Tan (LRV 40), a difference of 33 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. With a ΔE of 21.1, 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.

Digital color is approximate.
