Etiquette vs Niagara Falls

EtiquetteBenjamin MoorevsNiagara FallsBenjamin MooreΔE 34.1 — Very different colors

Etiquette and Niagara Falls come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Etiquette belongs to the beige-greige family and Niagara Falls to the blue family. The 42-point LRV gap — 74 for Etiquette vs 32 for Niagara Falls — means Etiquette will open up a space more effectively. Where Etiquette leans red, Niagara Falls reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 34.1 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.
