Brazen vs Thyme
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Thyme (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Brazen (LRV 22), a difference of 3 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 5.1 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Brazen on one side and Thyme 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.
