Metro GrayBenjamin MoorevsSunset HillBenjamin MooreΔE 13.8 — Distinct difference

Metro Gray and Sunset Hill come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Metro Gray belongs to the grey family and Sunset Hill to the beige family. The 19-point LRV gap — 78 for Sunset Hill vs 58 for Metro Gray — means Sunset Hill will open up a space more effectively. Where Metro Gray leans yellow, Sunset Hill reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 13.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
