PerennialBenjamin MoorevsPurbeck StoneFarrow & BallΔE 46.1Very different colors

Perennial (Benjamin Moore) and Purbeck Stone (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Perennial belongs to the yellow family and Purbeck Stone to the greige-grey family. The 13-point LRV gap — 52 for Purbeck Stone vs 39 for Perennial — means Purbeck Stone will open up a space more effectively.
