Nickel vs Night Shade
Nickel and Night Shade come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Nickel belongs to the blue-grey family and Night Shade to the grey family. The 33-point LRV gap — 39 for Nickel vs 6 for Night Shade — means Nickel will open up a space more effectively. Where Nickel leans blue, Night Shade reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 44.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Nickel vs Night Shade Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Nickel on one side and Night Shade on the other.
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.
