Beach Haven vs Milky Way
Where Beach Haven belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Milky Way is a Jotun color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Beach Haven (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Milky Way (LRV 74), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Beach Haven runs red while Milky Way is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
