Aplomb vs Sioux Falls

AplombBenjamin MoorevsSioux FallsBenjamin MooreΔE 26.5 — Very different colors

Aplomb and Sioux Falls come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Aplomb reads as grey, while Sioux Falls reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 9-point LRV gap — 29 for Sioux Falls vs 21 for Aplomb — means Sioux Falls will open up a space more effectively. Where Aplomb leans red, Sioux Falls reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 26.5 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.
