Midnight vs Nocturnal Green
Where Midnight belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Nocturnal Green is a Valspar color. Hue-wise, Midnight belongs to the blue-grey family and Nocturnal Green to the blue-green family. Midnight (LRV 6) reflects noticeably more light than Nocturnal Green (LRV 3), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
