Stonybrook vs Velvet Cloak

StonybrookBenjamin MoorevsVelvet CloakBenjamin MooreΔE 43.9Very different colors

Stonybrook and Velvet Cloak come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Stonybrook reads as grey, while Velvet Cloak reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 25-point LRV gap — 29 for Stonybrook vs 5 for Velvet Cloak — means Stonybrook will open up a space more effectively. Where Stonybrook leans green, Velvet Cloak reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 43.9 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.
