Lighthouse vs Hardwick White
Where Lighthouse belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Hardwick White is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Lighthouse belongs to the beige-yellow family and Hardwick White to the greige-grey family. Lighthouse (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Hardwick White (LRV 44), a difference of 39 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lighthouse runs yellow while Hardwick White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.1, 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.
