Soft Apricot vs Sweet Orange
Soft Apricot and Sweet Orange come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 14-point LRV gap — 64 for Sweet Orange vs 50 for Soft Apricot — means Sweet Orange 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. A ΔE of 11.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
