Byzantine vs Red Earth
Byzantine (Benjamin Moore) and Red Earth (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Byzantine belongs to the beige family and Red Earth to the pink-red family. The 6-point LRV gap — 28 for Red Earth vs 21 for Byzantine — means Red Earth will open up a space more effectively. Where Byzantine leans red, Red Earth reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 16.4 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.

Byzantine vs Red Earth Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Byzantine on one side and Red Earth 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.
