Distant Gray vs Healing Aloe
Distant Gray and Healing Aloe come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 20-point LRV gap — 88 for Distant Gray vs 68 for Healing Aloe — means Distant Gray will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 9.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Distant Gray vs Healing Aloe in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Distant Gray and Healing Aloe 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.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Distant Gray returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Distant Gray returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Distant Gray vs Healing Aloe Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Distant Gray on one side and Healing Aloe on the other.
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.
