Grand Rapids vs Soft Sky paint color comparison

Grand Rapids vs Soft Sky

Grand Rapids and Soft Sky come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 4-point LRV gap — 66 for Soft Sky vs 62 for Grand Rapids — means Soft Sky will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 2.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.

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.
