Dark Teal vs Night Shade
Dark Teal and Night Shade come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Dark Teal reads as blue, while Night Shade reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 10 for Dark Teal vs 6 for Night Shade — means Dark Teal will open up a space more effectively. Where Dark Teal leans blue, Night Shade reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 24.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
