Nimbus vs Stardust
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Nimbus (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Stardust (LRV 24), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Nimbus runs yellow and red while Stardust is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Nimbus vs Stardust Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Nimbus on one side and Stardust 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.
