Jojoba vs Pigeon
Jojoba (Behr) and Pigeon (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Jojoba reads as green-grey, while Pigeon reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 51 for Pigeon vs 47 for Jojoba — means Pigeon will open up a space more effectively. Where Jojoba leans green, Pigeon reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 35.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Jojoba vs Pigeon in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Jojoba 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.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Pigeon has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
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. Pigeon has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Jojoba vs Pigeon Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Jojoba 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.
