Cliffside Gray vs Gray Wisp
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Cliffside Gray (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Wisp (LRV 54), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Cliffside Gray vs Gray Wisp in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Cliffside Gray and Gray Wisp are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Cliffside Gray gives the walls a little more lift.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Cliffside Gray has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
