Cabin FeverBenjamin MoorevsNormandyBenjamin MooreΔE 21.3 — Distinct difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cabin Fever belongs to the greige-grey family and Normandy to the blue-grey family. Normandy (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Cabin Fever (LRV 14), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cabin Fever runs red while Normandy is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
