Cookie Dough vs Virginia Beach

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Cookie Dough (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Virginia Beach (LRV 72), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cookie Dough runs red while Virginia Beach is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.1, 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.
