Baywood Brown vs Thoughtful
Where Baywood Brown belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Thoughtful is a Jotun color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Thoughtful (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Baywood Brown (LRV 34), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Baywood Brown runs red while Thoughtful is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
