Nimbus vs October Sky
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Nimbus reads as greige-grey, while October Sky reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. October Sky (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Nimbus (LRV 59), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Nimbus runs yellow and red while October Sky is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
