Distant GrayBenjamin MoorevsRoyal FlushBenjamin MooreΔE 74.5 — Very different colors

Distant Gray and Royal Flush come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Distant Gray reads as green-grey, while Royal Flush reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 76-point LRV gap — 88 for Distant Gray vs 12 for Royal Flush — means Distant Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Distant Gray leans neutral, Royal Flush reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 74.5 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.
