Barely Beige vs Chic Magnet
Where Barely Beige belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Chic Magnet is a Cloverdale Paint color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Chic Magnet (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Barely Beige (LRV 71), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
