Aplomb vs Fanfare
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Aplomb belongs to the grey family and Fanfare to the blue-white family. At LRV 78 vs 21, Fanfare will read as the brighter of the two — a 57-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Aplomb's red character against Fanfare's green and blue — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 43.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
