Annapolis Gray vs Washed Linen
Where Annapolis Gray belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Washed Linen is a Jotun color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Washed Linen (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Annapolis Gray (LRV 0), a difference of 55 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
