Fossil vs Jonesboro Cream
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Fossil belongs to the beige-greige family and Jonesboro Cream to the beige family. Fossil (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Jonesboro Cream (LRV 56), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fossil runs red while Jonesboro Cream is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
