JuteBenjamin MoorevsLucerneBenjamin MooreΔE 53.1 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Jute reads as beige-greige, while Lucerne reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Jute (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Lucerne (LRV 14), a difference of 50 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jute runs yellow and red while Lucerne is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 53.1, 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.
