Indigo vs Night Shade
Indigo and Night Shade come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Indigo reads as blue, while Night Shade reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 51-point LRV gap — 57 for Indigo vs 6 for Night Shade — means Indigo will open up a space more effectively. Where Indigo leans blue, Night Shade reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 58.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
