Baja Dunes and Paper Lantern come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Baja Dunes belongs to the beige-greige family and Paper Lantern to the pink-red family. The 28-point LRV gap — 41 for Baja Dunes vs 14 for Paper Lantern — means Baja Dunes will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 55.0 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.
