Backwoods vs Dune White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Backwoods belongs to the green-grey family and Dune White to the beige-greige family. Dune White (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Backwoods (LRV 13), a difference of 68 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Backwoods runs green while Dune White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 52.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
