Brewster Gray vs Sunset Hill

Brewster GrayBenjamin MoorevsSunset HillBenjamin MooreΔE 33.3Very different colors

Brewster Gray and Sunset Hill come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Brewster Gray reads as blue-grey, while Sunset Hill reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 48-point LRV gap — 78 for Sunset Hill vs 30 for Brewster Gray — means Sunset Hill will open up a space more effectively. Where Brewster Gray leans blue, Sunset Hill reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 33.3 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.
