Flora vs Paper Mache

FloraBenjamin MoorevsPaper MacheBenjamin MooreΔE 25.4 — Very different colors

Flora and Paper Mache come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Flora belongs to the green-grey family and Paper Mache to the beige-yellow family. The 45-point LRV gap — 85 for Paper Mache vs 40 for Flora — means Paper Mache will open up a space more effectively. Where Flora leans green, Paper Mache reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 25.4 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.
