Bashful vs White Down
Bashful and White Down come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Bashful reads as beige, while White Down reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 77 for White Down vs 71 for Bashful — means White Down will open up a space more effectively. Where Bashful leans red, White Down reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

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.
