Spa vs Purbeck Stone
Spa (Benjamin Moore) and Purbeck Stone (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Spa reads as beige-greige, while Purbeck Stone reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 11-point LRV gap — 63 for Spa vs 52 for Purbeck Stone — means Spa will open up a space more effectively. Where Spa leans yellow, Purbeck Stone reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 11.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Spa on one side and Purbeck Stone on the other.
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.
