Stonewashed vs Pigeon
Stonewashed (Benjamin Moore) and Pigeon (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Stonewashed reads as green, while Pigeon reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 29-point LRV gap — 80 for Stonewashed vs 51 for Pigeon — means Stonewashed will open up a space more effectively. Where Stonewashed leans green, Pigeon reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 27.1 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.

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.
