Harbor Town vs Morning Dew

Harbor TownBenjamin MoorevsMorning DewBenjamin MooreΔE 10.3Distinct difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Morning Dew (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Harbor Town (LRV 56), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 10.3, 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
