Cascade Mountains vs Cliffside Gray paint color comparison

Cascade Mountains vs Cliffside Gray

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cascade Mountains belongs to the yellow family and Cliffside Gray to the green-grey family. Cascade Mountains (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Cliffside Gray (LRV 61), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cascade Mountains runs yellow while Cliffside Gray is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
