Nutmeg vs Patina
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Nutmeg belongs to the beige family and Patina to the beige-pink family. Nutmeg (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Patina (LRV 25), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 16.6, 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.
