Aged Bronze vs Thyme

Aged BronzeBenjamin MoorevsThymeBenjamin MooreΔE 13.0Distinct difference

Aged Bronze and Thyme come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 10-point LRV gap — 25 for Thyme vs 16 for Aged Bronze — means Thyme will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 13.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
