Townhouse Tan vs Alpaca Mittens
Where Townhouse Tan belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Alpaca Mittens is a Valspar color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Townhouse Tan (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Alpaca Mittens (LRV 56), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light.
