Chiswell BlueBenjamin MoorevsIron GateBenjamin MooreΔE 17.1 — Distinct difference

Chiswell Blue and Iron Gate come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Chiswell Blue belongs to the blue-grey family and Iron Gate to the greige-grey family. The 6-point LRV gap — 30 for Chiswell Blue vs 23 for Iron Gate — means Chiswell Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Chiswell Blue leans blue, Iron Gate reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 17.1 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.

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.
