DragonwellBenjamin MoorevsAntique WhiteJotunΔE 41.3Very different colors

Dragonwell (Benjamin Moore) and Antique White (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Dragonwell belongs to the beige-yellow family and Antique White to the beige-greige family. The 34-point LRV gap — 56 for Antique White vs 22 for Dragonwell — means Antique White will open up a space more effectively. Where Dragonwell leans yellow, Antique White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

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.
