Distant Gray vs Taffeta Green paint color comparison

Distant Gray vs Taffeta Green

Distant Gray and Taffeta Green come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Distant Gray reads as green-grey, while Taffeta Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 13-point LRV gap — 88 for Distant Gray vs 75 for Taffeta Green — 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 9.3 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.
