Northern Cliffs vs Rodeo paint color comparison

Northern Cliffs vs Rodeo

Northern CliffsBenjamin MoorevsRodeoBenjamin MooreΔE 8.8 — Noticeable difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Rodeo (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Northern Cliffs (LRV 46), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Northern Cliffs runs yellow and red while Rodeo is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Northern Cliffs vs Rodeo in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Northern Cliffs and Rodeo 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

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Rodeo will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Northern Cliffs would.

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.
