Avant Garde vs Mexico
Where Avant Garde belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mexico is a Jotun color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Avant Garde (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Mexico (LRV 35), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Avant Garde runs red while Mexico is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.2 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.
