Lambskin vs Artichoke
Lambskin (Benjamin Moore) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Lambskin reads as beige, while Artichoke reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 50-point LRV gap — 71 for Lambskin vs 21 for Artichoke — means Lambskin will open up a space more effectively. Where Lambskin leans warm, Artichoke reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 35.7 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.
