Coliseum Marble vs Florentine Plaster
Where Coliseum Marble belongs to Behr's range, Florentine Plaster is a Benjamin Moore color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Coliseum Marble (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Florentine Plaster (LRV 53), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Coliseum Marble runs yellow while Florentine Plaster is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
