Midnight Blue vs Morrel

Midnight Blue and Morrel come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Midnight Blue belongs to the blue-grey family and Morrel to the beige-greige family. The 24-point LRV gap — 32 for Morrel vs 8 for Midnight Blue — means Morrel will open up a space more effectively. Where Midnight Blue leans blue, Morrel reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 39.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
