Taupe Fedora vs Patches
Where Taupe Fedora belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Patches is a PPG color. Taupe Fedora reads as beige-greige, while Patches reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Taupe Fedora (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Patches (LRV 21), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.6 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.

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.
