Clearlake vs Night Shade

ClearlakeBenjamin MoorevsNight ShadeBenjamin MooreΔE 59.5 — Very different colors

Clearlake and Night Shade come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Clearlake reads as blue, while Night Shade reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 48-point LRV gap — 54 for Clearlake vs 6 for Night Shade — means Clearlake will open up a space more effectively. Where Clearlake leans blue, Night Shade reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 59.5 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.
