Mediterranean Olive vs Pinetop

Mediterranean OliveBenjamin MoorevsPinetopPPGΔE 3.2Noticeable difference

Mediterranean Olive is a Benjamin Moore color while Pinetop comes from PPG. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. With LRVs of 11 and 9, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 3.2, 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
