Constellation vs Studio Clay

ConstellationBenjamin MoorevsStudio ClayBenjamin MooreΔE 31.3 — Very different colors

Constellation and Studio Clay come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Constellation reads as blue, while Studio Clay reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 44-point LRV gap — 73 for Constellation vs 29 for Studio Clay — means Constellation will open up a space more effectively. Where Constellation leans blue, Studio Clay reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 31.3 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.
