Egyptian Sand vs Millington Gold paint color comparison

Egyptian Sand vs Millington Gold

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. Millington Gold (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Egyptian Sand (LRV 31), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Egyptian Sand runs yellow and red while Millington Gold is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.5, 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.

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.
