Tiki Hut vs Virtual Taupe

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Tiki Hut belongs to the beige-greige family and Virtual Taupe to the greige-grey family. Virtual Taupe (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Tiki Hut (LRV 17), a difference of 3 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 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
