After Midnight vs Doily

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, After Midnight belongs to the blue-grey family and Doily to the beige-greige family. At LRV 56 vs 6, Doily will read as the brighter of the two — a 50-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — After Midnight's blue character against Doily's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 58.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
