Log CabinBenjamin MoorevsNormandyBenjamin MooreΔE 36.8 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Log Cabin belongs to the beige family and Normandy to the blue-grey family. Normandy (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Log Cabin (LRV 13), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Log Cabin runs red while Normandy is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.8, 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.
