Touch of Sand vs White Truffle
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Touch of Sand reads as beige-greige, while White Truffle reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (58 vs 60), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
