Richmond Bisque vs String
Where Richmond Bisque belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, String is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. String (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Richmond Bisque (LRV 56), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Richmond Bisque runs red while String is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
