Etiquette vs Flint

EtiquetteBenjamin MoorevsFlintBenjamin MooreΔE 51.3 — Very different colors

Etiquette and Flint come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Etiquette reads as beige-greige, while Flint reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 62-point LRV gap — 74 for Etiquette vs 12 for Flint — means Etiquette will open up a space more effectively. Where Etiquette leans red, Flint reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 51.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
