Maple Shadows vs Spanish Brown paint color comparison

Maple Shadows vs Spanish Brown

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 18 and 20, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a red quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 4.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
