Kangaroo vs Paper Mache
Kangaroo and Paper Mache come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Kangaroo belongs to the beige-greige family and Paper Mache to the beige-yellow family. The 41-point LRV gap — 85 for Paper Mache vs 44 for Kangaroo — means Paper Mache will open up a space more effectively. Where Kangaroo leans red, Paper Mache reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 23.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
