Chateau vs Northern Cliffs

ChateauBenjamin MoorevsNorthern CliffsBenjamin MooreΔE 6.7 — Noticeable difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Northern Cliffs (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Chateau (LRV 37), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chateau runs red while Northern Cliffs is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.7 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.
