Moroccan Brown vs Wheat Penny paint color comparison

Moroccan Brown vs Wheat Penny

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Moroccan Brown belongs to the beige-pink family and Wheat Penny to the beige family. Moroccan Brown (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Wheat Penny (LRV 18), 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 7.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
