Anderson Blue vs Hollingsworth Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Anderson Blue belongs to the blue family and Hollingsworth Green to the green-yellow family. Hollingsworth Green (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Anderson Blue (LRV 48), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Anderson Blue runs green and blue while Hollingsworth Green is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
