White Duck vs Merino
White Duck is a Sherwin-Williams color while Merino comes from Tikkurila. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. With LRVs of 74 and 74, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 0.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
