Default Idiomatic expressions

Which would be the English equivalent to the Spanish idiom:
"de noche, todos los gatos son pardos"?
meaning that whithin a similar scenography, everyone looks alike and you can't tell the difference between the real characteristics of one person and the other.

Thank you.
