How they read
In their own wordsPashmina is Benjamin Moore's most even-handed taupe: the brand describes it as 'perfectly balanced between warm and cool, light and dark'. It belongs to the Affinity collection, designed so that every colour in it harmonises with every other.
Clay is a Little Greene mid-stone neutral with more ochre than its predecessors — warm, sandy and quietly elegant. It is the colour of dried river clay: not quite beige, not quite yellow.
