Ivory Tower vs Pigeon
Where Ivory Tower belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pigeon is a Farrow & Ball color. Ivory Tower reads as beige, while Pigeon reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ivory Tower (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Pigeon (LRV 51), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ivory Tower runs red while Pigeon is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.4, 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.
