Plaster of Paris vs Focus
Plaster of Paris is a Benjamin Moore color while Focus comes from PPG. Plaster of Paris reads as beige-yellow, while Focus reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 73 and 74, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.0, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Plaster of Paris on one side and Focus on the other.
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.
