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.
