Old ClaretBenjamin MoorevsSylvan MistBenjamin MooreΔE 54.6Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Old Claret reads as pink-red, while Sylvan Mist reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 54 vs 14, Sylvan Mist will read as the brighter of the two — a 40-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Old Claret's red character against Sylvan Mist's green — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 54.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
