Limewash vs Woolen Mittens
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 67 vs 46, Limewash will read as the brighter of the two — a 21-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 15.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
