Athena vs Cantaloupe
Athena and Cantaloupe come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Athena reads as beige-greige, while Cantaloupe reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 71 for Cantaloupe vs 69 for Athena — means Cantaloupe will open up a space more effectively. Where Athena leans warm, Cantaloupe reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 21.8 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.

Athena vs Cantaloupe Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Athena on one side and Cantaloupe on the other.
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.
