Manor Blue vs Overcast

Manor Blue and Overcast come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Manor Blue belongs to the blue-grey family and Overcast to the beige-greige family. The 22-point LRV gap — 69 for Overcast vs 47 for Manor Blue — means Overcast will open up a space more effectively. Where Manor Blue leans blue, Overcast reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 20.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
