Likeable Sand vs Sand Dune
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Likeable Sand reads as beige, while Sand Dune reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Likeable Sand (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Sand Dune (LRV 46), a difference of 4 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 3.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
