Burlap vs Butternut Squash
Burlap and Butternut Squash come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 19-point LRV gap — 54 for Burlap vs 35 for Butternut Squash — means Burlap 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 17.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Burlap vs Butternut Squash Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Burlap on one side and Butternut Squash 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.
