Kilim Beige vs Macadamia
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 57 vs 49, Kilim Beige will read as the brighter of the two — a 8-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 5.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Kilim Beige vs Macadamia in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Kilim Beige and Macadamia are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
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. Kilim Beige returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Kilim Beige reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Macadamia.
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 Kilim Beige will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Macadamia would.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
