Cascade Mountains vs Sheep's Wool paint color comparison

Cascade Mountains vs Sheep's Wool

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cascade Mountains belongs to the yellow family and Sheep's Wool to the greige-grey family. Cascade Mountains (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Sheep's Wool (LRV 73), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cascade Mountains runs yellow while Sheep's Wool is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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.
