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.

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.
