Misty Gray vs Velvet Cloak
Misty Gray and Velvet Cloak come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Misty Gray reads as blue-green, while Velvet Cloak reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 76-point LRV gap — 81 for Misty Gray vs 5 for Velvet Cloak — means Misty Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Misty Gray leans green, Velvet Cloak reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 74.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
