White Sand vs White Sesame
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. White Sand reads as greige-white, while White Sesame reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Sand (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than White Sesame (LRV 71), a difference of 13 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 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.
