Stoneware vs Wet Clay
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Stoneware reads as beige-yellow, while Wet Clay reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Stoneware (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Wet Clay (LRV 25), a difference of 56 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Stoneware runs yellow while Wet Clay is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
