Flawless vs Wellesley Buff

Flawless and Wellesley Buff come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 70 for Flawless vs 67 for Wellesley Buff — means Flawless will open up a space more effectively. Where Flawless leans red, Wellesley Buff reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
