Alfresco vs Sanctuary

Alfresco and Sanctuary come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Alfresco belongs to the blue family and Sanctuary to the grey family. The 20-point LRV gap — 42 for Sanctuary vs 22 for Alfresco — means Sanctuary will open up a space more effectively. Where Alfresco leans blue, Sanctuary reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 22.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
