The choice beside jute rugs and natural oak
Jute and oak already repeat warm natural colors, so a cleaner light fabric can prevent the palette from becoming uniformly beige.
Set up both candidates with jute rugs and natural oak. Use equal-sized boards with the intended finishes and place them in the same orientation. Do not put one directly beside a window and leave the other in shadow. A difference that follows the position rather than the board is a lighting observation, not evidence that the formula changed.
What the comparison can—and cannot—settle
The alternative Natural Tan has an LRV of 65. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice.
Keep one cleaner light fabric in the test so the wall, floor and rug do not collapse into one beige field. Assess Canvas Tan and Kilim Beige alone as well as side by side. The unchosen board will not remain in the finished room, and a preference created only by that neighbor may not survive its removal. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
