Celery Salt vs Iron Ore
Celery Salt (Benjamin Moore) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Celery Salt belongs to the beige-yellow family and Iron Ore to the grey family. The 69-point LRV gap — 75 for Celery Salt vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Celery Salt will open up a space more effectively. Where Celery Salt leans warm, Iron Ore reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 62.6 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.

Celery Salt vs Iron Ore Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Celery Salt on one side and Iron Ore 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.
