Sand Trap vs Unfussy Beige
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Unfussy Beige (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Sand Trap (LRV 40), a difference of 20 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. With a ΔE of 13.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
