Abyss vs Dusty Mauve
Abyss and Dusty Mauve come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Abyss belongs to the blue-grey family and Dusty Mauve to the pink-red family. The 28-point LRV gap — 35 for Dusty Mauve vs 7 for Abyss — means Dusty Mauve will open up a space more effectively. Where Abyss leans blue, Dusty Mauve reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 48.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
