Solé vs Joy
Where Solé belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Joy is a Tikkurila color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Joy (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Solé (LRV 74), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
