Wish vs Pale Taupe
Where Wish belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pale Taupe is a Dulux color. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Pale Taupe (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Wish (LRV 59), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Wish runs red while Pale Taupe is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Wish vs Pale Taupe in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Wish and Pale Taupe are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Pale Taupe reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
