MohairBenjamin MoorevsArtichokeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 33.7Very different colors

Mohair (Benjamin Moore) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Mohair belongs to the beige family and Artichoke to the grey family. The 46-point LRV gap — 67 for Mohair vs 21 for Artichoke — means Mohair will open up a space more effectively. Where Mohair leans red, Artichoke reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 33.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
