Byzantine Gold vs Mexico
Byzantine Gold is a Benjamin Moore color while Mexico comes from Jotun. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 35 vs 26, Mexico will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Byzantine Gold's red character against Mexico's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 9.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
