Cliffside Gray vs Tranquil Dawn

Cliffside GrayBenjamin MoorevsTranquil DawnDuluxΔE 5.5Noticeable difference

Cliffside Gray (Benjamin Moore) and Tranquil Dawn (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 6-point LRV gap — 61 for Cliffside Gray vs 55 for Tranquil Dawn — means Cliffside Gray will open up a space more effectively. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 5.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.
