Knitting Basket vs Soft Skin
Knitting Basket is a Benjamin Moore color while Soft Skin comes from Jotun. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 52 vs 48, Soft Skin will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Knitting Basket's red character against Soft Skin's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
