Fiji vs Poolside Blue
Where Fiji belongs to Behr's range, Poolside Blue is a Benjamin Moore color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Poolside Blue (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Fiji (LRV 19), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 6.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Fiji vs Poolside Blue in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Fiji and Poolside Blue 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.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Poolside Blue reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Fiji.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The LRV gap is large enough that Poolside Blue will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Fiji would.

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.
