How do I decide between these two colors?

If you want a lighter, cooler greige color, Edgecomb Gray is a better choice.

However, if your room gets a lot of natural light, I suggest you at least swatch Accessible Beige as well. Bright light can wash out colors, so colors with a bit more depth can work better in these spaces.

Accessible Beige has a little bit more color to it so it’s going to still feel warm even in a well lit room.

If your room is darker, Edgecomb Gray may be a better option for your space.
