Engagement vs Wood Ash
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Engagement belongs to the pink-red family and Wood Ash to the beige family. Wood Ash (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Engagement (LRV 52), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 23.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
