Papaya vs Roycroft Vellum
Where Papaya belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Roycroft Vellum is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Roycroft Vellum (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Papaya (LRV 67), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Papaya runs red while Roycroft Vellum is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

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.
