Cedar Key vs Elmira White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Elmira White (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Cedar Key (LRV 61), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cedar Key runs warm while Elmira White is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
