Restoration vs Sanderling
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Restoration belongs to the greige-grey family and Sanderling to the beige-greige family. Restoration (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Sanderling (LRV 31), a difference of 7 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 7.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
