Soft Fawn vs Woven Wicker
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (33 vs 34), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
