Brush Beige vs Royal Flax
Brush Beige and Royal Flax come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 15-point LRV gap — 53 for Royal Flax vs 38 for Brush Beige — means Royal Flax will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 12.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
