Old Montreal vs Accessible Beige
Where Old Montreal belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Accessible Beige is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Accessible Beige (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Old Montreal (LRV 49), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
