Flora vs Washed Linen
Where Flora belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Washed Linen is a Jotun color. Flora reads as green-grey, while Washed Linen reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Washed Linen (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Flora (LRV 40), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Flora runs green while Washed Linen is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
