Beneath the Clouds vs Bewitched
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Beneath the Clouds belongs to the blue-grey family and Bewitched to the pink-red family. Beneath the Clouds (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Bewitched (LRV 6), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Beneath the Clouds runs blue while Bewitched is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 53.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Beneath the Clouds vs Bewitched in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Beneath the Clouds and Bewitched in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Beneath the Clouds will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Bewitched would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Beneath the Clouds reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Bewitched.

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.
