Deep Ochre vs Scarecrow

Deep Ochre and Scarecrow come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Deep Ochre belongs to the beige family and Scarecrow to the beige-greige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 27 vs 29 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Deep Ochre leans warm, Scarecrow reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.5 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.
