Apricot Chiffon vs Desert View

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Apricot Chiffon (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Desert View (LRV 62), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Apricot Chiffon runs red while Desert View is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
