RainstormBenjamin MoorevsTranquilityBenjamin MooreΔE 16.9 — Distinct difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Rainstorm belongs to the grey family and Tranquility to the green-grey family. Tranquility (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Rainstorm (LRV 30), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 16.9, 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.

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.
