Mustard Olive vs Mexico
Where Mustard Olive belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mexico is a Jotun color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Mexico (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than Mustard Olive (LRV 23), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mustard Olive runs red while Mexico is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 13.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
