Chestnut vs Antique White
Chestnut (Benjamin Moore) and Antique White (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Chestnut reads as pink-red, while Antique White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 47-point LRV gap — 56 for Antique White vs 9 for Chestnut — means Antique White will open up a space more effectively. Where Chestnut leans red, Antique White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 52.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
