Chamois vs Empty Quarter
Chamois and Empty Quarter come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 64 for Chamois vs 60 for Empty Quarter — means Chamois will open up a space more effectively. Where Chamois leans red, Empty Quarter reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Chamois on one side and Empty Quarter 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.
