Nimbus vs Wish
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 59 and 59, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Nimbus's yellow and red character against Wish's red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 0.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Nimbus vs Wish in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Nimbus and Wish 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

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