Luxe vs Northern Cliffs

LuxeBenjamin MoorevsNorthern CliffsBenjamin MooreΔE 29.5 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Luxe reads as blue-grey, while Northern Cliffs reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Northern Cliffs (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Luxe (LRV 22), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Luxe runs blue while Northern Cliffs is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
