Aegean Olive vs Durango paint color comparison

Aegean Olive vs Durango

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. With LRVs of 12 and 12, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Aegean Olive's yellow character against Durango's red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
