Claret vs Antique White
Where Claret belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Antique White is a Jotun color. Claret reads as pink-red, while Antique White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Antique White (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Claret (LRV 26), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 41.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
