Meditation vs Northern Cliffs
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Meditation reads as beige-greige, while Northern Cliffs reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Northern Cliffs (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Meditation (LRV 36), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Meditation runs yellow while Northern Cliffs is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
