Baja Dunes vs Pashmina
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Pashmina (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Baja Dunes (LRV 41), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Baja Dunes vs Pashmina in Real Spaces

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.
