Starfish vs Sweet 'n Sour
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (41 vs 39), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Starfish vs Sweet 'n Sour Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Starfish on one side and Sweet 'n Sour 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.
