Princeton Gold vs Mexico
Where Princeton Gold belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mexico is a Jotun color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Princeton Gold (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Mexico (LRV 35), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Princeton Gold runs red while Mexico is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
