City Shadow vs Decorator's White

City Shadow and Decorator's White come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. City Shadow reads as grey, while Decorator's White reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 69-point LRV gap — 83 for Decorator's White vs 14 for City Shadow — means Decorator's White will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 51.4 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.
