Give this sample a clear job
Sample Benjamin Moore Rainy Afternoon 1575 beside the fixed finishes, in the intended orientation and under normal room lighting. The trial should settle a dark green-gray room for deliberate evening atmosphere . Rainy Afternoon adds more depth than Intrigue, making evening enclosure a deliberate possibility rather than an incidental side effect.
Why the ivory upholstery and warm wood relationship matters
Ivory upholstery needs enough visible area to define the seating against dark green-gray, especially with only local lamps on.
Rainy Afternoon has an LRV of 15.2; Benjamin Moore Intrigue 1580 is 24.43. The difference is 9.23 points, with Intrigue returning more light under the reference measurement.
Keep the comparison fair
Use a large dried Rainy Afternoon board and inspect it at the darkest intended position. Photograph the area only as a planning record; judge the color in person with the normal lamps. Compare the full painted shape before assuming a small dark chip predicts the room's enclosure.
Approve the actual coating and the least favorable view
Approve it under the actual lamps and keep enough pale upholstery to separate the seating from the wall. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice. The trim color comparison covers that related choice.
Keep the approved dried board with the complete Benjamin Moore 1575 product and finish specification. Follow the actual coating instructions for application, drying and preparation; the color name does not settle those requirements. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
