Butternut Squash vs Sunbaked Terracotta
Where Butternut Squash belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Sunbaked Terracotta is a Dulux color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Sunbaked Terracotta (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Butternut Squash (LRV 35), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Butternut Squash runs red while Sunbaked Terracotta is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 10.8, the contrast is hard to miss.
