RanchwoodBenjamin MoorevsThames FogValsparΔE 9.3Noticeable difference

Where Ranchwood belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Thames Fog is a Valspar color. Ranchwood reads as beige-greige, while Thames Fog reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ranchwood (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Thames Fog (LRV 27), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
