Carob vs Truffle

CarobBenjamin MoorevsTruffleBenjamin MooreΔE 24.4 — Distinct difference

Carob and Truffle come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Carob belongs to the beige-greige family and Truffle to the beige family. The 25-point LRV gap — 44 for Truffle vs 19 for Carob — means Truffle 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 24.4 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.

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.
