How they read
In their own wordsSafari SW 7697 is a warm, golden beige from Sherwin-Williams with an LRV of about 46, so it is a true mid-tone rather than a pale neutral.
Grant Beige balances beige and grey in nearly equal measure — the textbook greige. A slight yellow-gold undertone adds warmth, while the grey content keeps it from ever reading sweet or sandy. It is the safe, sophisticated neutral that anchors a whole-home palette.
