Raw Cashmere vs Accessible Beige
Where Raw Cashmere belongs to Dulux's range, Accessible Beige is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Raw Cashmere (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Accessible Beige (LRV 58), 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. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
