Nimbus vs Seattle Mist

NimbusBenjamin MoorevsSeattle MistBenjamin MooreΔE 3.7 — Noticeable difference

Nimbus and Seattle Mist come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 59 for Nimbus vs 55 for Seattle Mist — means Nimbus will open up a space more effectively. Where Nimbus leans yellow and red, Seattle Mist reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 3.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
