Etruscan vs Thunder
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Etruscan belongs to the beige family and Thunder to the greige-grey family. Thunder (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Etruscan (LRV 26), a difference of 21 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 32.4, 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.
