Cool Clay vs Canoe
Cool Clay is a PPG color while Canoe comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. With LRVs of 33 and 34, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 3.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
