Nimbus vs Ticonderoga Taupe
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Nimbus belongs to the greige-grey family and Ticonderoga Taupe to the beige-greige family. Nimbus (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Ticonderoga Taupe (LRV 28), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Nimbus runs yellow and red while Ticonderoga Taupe is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 24.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
