Nantucket Gray vs Senses

Nantucket GrayBenjamin MoorevsSensesJotunΔE 8.2Noticeable difference

Where Nantucket Gray belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Senses is a Jotun color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (40 vs 41), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Nantucket Gray runs yellow while Senses is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Nantucket Gray vs Senses in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Nantucket Gray and Senses are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Bathroom

Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.
