Beacon Gray vs Y436
Beacon Gray (Benjamin Moore) and Y436 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Beacon Gray belongs to the blue-grey family and Y436 to the blue family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 66 vs 65 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 1.8 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Beacon Gray vs Y436 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Beacon Gray on one side and Y436 on the other.
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.
