Barley vs Vellum
Barley and Vellum come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 4-point LRV gap — 68 for Barley vs 63 for Vellum — means Barley will open up a space more effectively. Where Barley leans warm, Vellum reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 1.6 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. 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.
