The difference

Read from the numbers

Tundra is the lighter of the two at LRV 77.07, 19.4 points above Accessible Beige at LRV 57.67. Accessible Beige leans warm where Tundra reads cool. Accessible Beige is a beige, Tundra a white. For a whole room, Tundra is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Accessible Beige is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Accessible Beige (SW 7036) leans further into beige than most greiges, with a soft brown-gold base that reads warm and grounded. At an LRV near 58 it's a hair deeper than Agreeable Gray, giving rooms a cozier, more traditional feel.

Tundra is the off-white for people who find most whites too creamy. Its LRV of 77 puts it in soft-white territory, but the base is a cool, faintly green-blue grey, so it reads clean and quiet rather than warm. On plaster mouldings and in rooms with a lot of daylight it looks like fresh air.
