GothamBenjamin MoorevsSidewalk GrayBenjamin MooreΔE 29.9 — Very different colors

Gotham and Sidewalk Gray come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Gotham belongs to the grey family and Sidewalk Gray to the blue-grey family. The 39-point LRV gap — 61 for Sidewalk Gray vs 22 for Gotham — means Sidewalk Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Gotham leans red, Sidewalk Gray reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 29.9 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.
