Florentine Plaster vs Taiga

Florentine PlasterBenjamin MoorevsTaigaBenjamin MooreΔE 19.1 — Distinct difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Florentine Plaster reads as beige-greige, while Taiga reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Florentine Plaster (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Taiga (LRV 29), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 19.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
