Central Mauve vs North Cascades
Central Mauve and North Cascades come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Central Mauve belongs to the blue family and North Cascades to the blue-grey family. The 15-point LRV gap — 55 for North Cascades vs 40 for Central Mauve — means North Cascades will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue and purple character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 11.3 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.

Central Mauve vs North Cascades Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Central Mauve on one side and North Cascades on the other.
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.
