Which should you pick
Rules of thumb computed from the LRV and Lab values in the table above; no room test was done.
- Pick Egret White (SW 7570) for a small room or a north-facing room, because it is 12 LRV points lighter (70 vs 58), so it bounces back more of the limited light
- Pick Egret White (SW 7570) for a south-facing room, because its Lab b* is 5.7 against 8.8, so it is the cooler of the two and offsets warm direct sun
- Pick Accessible Beige (SW 7036) to warm a north-facing room, because it is the warmer of the two (Lab b* 8.8), which counters cool indirect light
