Cable KnitBenjamin MoorevsWashed LinenJotunΔE 11.7Distinct difference

The 9-point LRV gap — 63 for Cable Knit vs 55 for Washed Linen — means Cable Knit will open up a space more effectively.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
