Edgecomb Gray vs Jute

Edgecomb GrayBenjamin MoorevsJuteBenjamin MooreΔE 2.7Subtle difference

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. With LRVs of 63 and 63, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Edgecomb Gray's red character against Jute's yellow and red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Edgecomb Gray vs Jute in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Edgecomb Gray and Jute are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.

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.
