Harbor Town and Sombrero come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Harbor Town reads as beige-greige, while Sombrero reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 9-point LRV gap — 56 for Harbor Town vs 48 for Sombrero — means Harbor Town will open up a space more effectively. Where Harbor Town leans yellow, Sombrero reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

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.
