Naturel vs Relaxed Khaki
Naturel and Relaxed Khaki come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 54 for Naturel vs 50 for Relaxed Khaki — means Naturel will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 3.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Naturel vs Relaxed Khaki in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Naturel and Relaxed Khaki 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.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Naturel has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Naturel has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Naturel vs Relaxed Khaki Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Naturel on one side and Relaxed Khaki on the other.
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.
