Florentine Plaster vs White Down paint color comparison

Florentine Plaster vs White Down

Florentine Plaster and White Down come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Florentine Plaster belongs to the beige-greige family and White Down to the beige-white family. The 24-point LRV gap — 77 for White Down vs 53 for Florentine Plaster — means White Down will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 12.5 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.
