Homespun Charm vs Victorian Mauve

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Homespun Charm belongs to the pink family and Victorian Mauve to the grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (50 vs 48), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Homespun Charm runs warm while Victorian Mauve is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
