Old Soul vs Picket Fence
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Old Soul reads as beige-greige, while Picket Fence reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Picket Fence (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Old Soul (LRV 50), a difference of 13 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. The ΔE 8.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
