Avant Garde vs Honey Nut
Where Avant Garde belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Honey Nut is a Dulux color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Honey Nut (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Avant Garde (LRV 40), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Avant Garde runs red while Honey Nut is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
