Kasbah vs Pigeon
Kasbah (Benjamin Moore) and Pigeon (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 33-point LRV gap — 51 for Pigeon vs 17 for Kasbah — means Pigeon will open up a space more effectively. Where Kasbah leans red, Pigeon reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 21.3 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Kasbah on one side and Pigeon on the other.
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.
