Brush Beige vs Ammonite
Where Brush Beige belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Brush Beige (LRV 38), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Brush Beige runs red while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.4, the contrast is hard to miss.
