Athena vs Hazelwood
Athena and Hazelwood come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 20-point LRV gap — 69 for Athena vs 49 for Hazelwood — means Athena will open up a space more effectively. Where Athena leans warm, Hazelwood reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 11.7 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. 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.
