Barrel Brown vs Hedgehog Brown
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-pinks, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-pink to land. Hedgehog Brown (LRV 13) reflects noticeably more light than Barrel Brown (LRV 9), a difference of 4 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 7.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Barrel Brown vs Hedgehog Brown Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Barrel Brown on one side and Hedgehog Brown on the other.
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.
