Truffle vs Lute
Where Truffle belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Lute is a Little Greene color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Lute (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Truffle (LRV 44), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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.
