American CheeseBenjamin MoorevsFuzzy NavelPPGΔE 3.9Noticeable difference

American Cheese is a Benjamin Moore color while Fuzzy Navel comes from PPG. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 67 and 66, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 3.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
