Fossil vs Merino
Fossil (Benjamin Moore) and Merino (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 74 for Merino vs 72 for Fossil — means Merino will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.2 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Fossil vs Merino Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Fossil on one side and Merino on the other.
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.
