Deep Taupe vs Kilim
Where Deep Taupe belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Kilim is a Jotun color. Hue-wise, Deep Taupe belongs to the beige-greige family and Kilim to the beige-pink family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (8 vs 10), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Deep Taupe runs red while Kilim is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Deep Taupe vs Kilim Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Deep Taupe on one side and Kilim 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.
