Reflection vs Velvet Cloak

ReflectionBenjamin MoorevsVelvet CloakBenjamin MooreΔE 75.3 — Very different colors

Reflection and Velvet Cloak come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Reflection reads as green, while Velvet Cloak reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 72-point LRV gap — 76 for Reflection vs 5 for Velvet Cloak — means Reflection will open up a space more effectively. Where Reflection leans green, Velvet Cloak reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 75.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
