Amethyst Shadow vs Tempest

Amethyst ShadowBenjamin MoorevsTempestBenjamin MooreΔE 6.3 — Noticeable difference

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Amethyst Shadow reads as blue-grey, while Tempest reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 18 and 20, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Amethyst Shadow's blue character against Tempest's purple — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 6.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
