Maplewood vs Washed Linen
Where Maplewood belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Washed Linen is a Jotun color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Washed Linen (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Maplewood (LRV 19), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Maplewood runs red while Washed Linen is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 34.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
