Jicama vs French Gray
Jicama (Benjamin Moore) and French Gray (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Jicama belongs to the beige family and French Gray to the beige-greige family. The 29-point LRV gap — 72 for Jicama vs 43 for French Gray — means Jicama will open up a space more effectively. Where Jicama leans red, French Gray reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 19.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Jicama vs French Gray Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Jicama on one side and French Gray 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.
