First Light vs Wild Rice paint color comparison

First Light vs Wild Rice

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. First Light reads as pink-red, while Wild Rice reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 76 and 75, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a red quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 1.3, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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.
