Moon ShadowBenjamin MoorevsArtichokeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 27.8Very different colors

Moon Shadow (Benjamin Moore) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Moon Shadow belongs to the beige-greige family and Artichoke to the grey family. The 36-point LRV gap — 57 for Moon Shadow vs 21 for Artichoke — means Moon Shadow will open up a space more effectively. Where Moon Shadow leans yellow, Artichoke reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

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.
