Roxbury CaramelBenjamin MoorevsOutbackPPGΔE 1.6Subtle difference

Roxbury Caramel is a Benjamin Moore color while Outback comes from PPG. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 40 and 38, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

Digital color is approximate.

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