Spicy Mustard vs Mecca Gold
Where Spicy Mustard belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mecca Gold is a PPG color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Spicy Mustard (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than Mecca Gold (LRV 30), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. 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.
