Aplomb vs Hidden Falls

AplombBenjamin MoorevsHidden FallsBenjamin MooreΔE 29.4 — Very different colors

Aplomb and Hidden Falls come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Aplomb belongs to the grey family and Hidden Falls to the blue-grey family. The 12-point LRV gap — 21 for Aplomb vs 9 for Hidden Falls — means Aplomb will open up a space more effectively. Where Aplomb leans red, Hidden Falls reads green and blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 29.4 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.

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.
