Silhouette vs Willow
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Silhouette reads as grey, while Willow reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 10 and 9, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a red quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 1.6, 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.
Silhouette vs Willow in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Silhouette and Willow 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.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Willow brings more warmth to the space, while Silhouette keeps things cooler and crisper.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The temperature contrast between Willow and Silhouette is what sets these apart most in this context.

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.
