Mardi Gras vs Antique White

Mardi GrasBenjamin MoorevsAntique WhiteJotunΔE 50.1Very different colors

Mardi Gras (Benjamin Moore) and Antique White (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Mardi Gras belongs to the pink-red family and Antique White to the beige-greige family. The 37-point LRV gap — 56 for Antique White vs 19 for Mardi Gras — means Antique White will open up a space more effectively. Where Mardi Gras leans red, Antique White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 50.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
