Eclipse vs Misty Lilac

EclipseBenjamin MoorevsMisty LilacBenjamin MooreΔE 41.2 — Very different colors

Eclipse and Misty Lilac come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Eclipse reads as blue-grey, while Misty Lilac reads as purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 58-point LRV gap — 78 for Misty Lilac vs 20 for Eclipse — means Misty Lilac will open up a space more effectively. Where Eclipse leans blue, Misty Lilac reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 41.2 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.
