Angelico vs Pigeon
Angelico (Behr) and Pigeon (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Angelico belongs to the beige-pink family and Pigeon to the grey family. The 16-point LRV gap — 67 for Angelico vs 51 for Pigeon — means Angelico will open up a space more effectively. Where Angelico leans red, Pigeon reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 21.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Angelico vs Pigeon in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Angelico and Pigeon in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Angelico reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Pigeon.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Angelico returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Angelico on one side and Pigeon on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
