Paper Mache vs Spa

Paper MacheBenjamin MoorevsSpaBenjamin MooreΔE 12.9 — Distinct difference

Paper Mache and Spa come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Paper Mache belongs to the beige-yellow family and Spa to the beige-greige family. The 22-point LRV gap — 85 for Paper Mache vs 63 for Spa — means Paper Mache will open up a space more effectively. Both share a yellow character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 12.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
