Roxbury CaramelBenjamin MoorevsTurmericBenjamin MooreΔE 18.3Distinct difference

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 40 vs 27, Roxbury Caramel will read as the brighter of the two — a 13-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a red quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 18.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
