Feather Gray vs Pashmina
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Feather Gray reads as blue-grey, while Pashmina reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Feather Gray (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Pashmina (LRV 44), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Feather Gray runs blue while Pashmina is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Feather Gray vs Pashmina in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Feather Gray and Pashmina in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Feather Gray will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Pashmina would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Feather Gray reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Pashmina.

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.
