Sleigh Bells vs Soft Shell

Sleigh BellsBenjamin MoorevsSoft ShellBenjamin MooreΔE 14.1 — Distinct difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Sleigh Bells reads as green-grey, while Soft Shell reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Soft Shell (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Sleigh Bells (LRV 60), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sleigh Bells runs green while Soft Shell is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.1, 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.
