Medieval Times vs Washed Linen
Where Medieval Times 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 Medieval Times (LRV 34), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Medieval Times runs yellow while Washed Linen is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.7, the contrast is hard to miss.
