Benjamin Moore to Farrow & Ball isn't a price or convenience switch — it's a finish character change. F&B's mineral pigments and water-based formulations create a chalky depth BM's standard finishes don't replicate. Cross-shoppers usually want to recreate F&B's signature looks (Cornforth White, Ammonite, Pelt) with BM substitutes. Expect Delta E 2-4 for the closest hex matches; the wall still reads differently.
