Apple Blossom vs Spring Meadow paint color comparison

Apple Blossom vs Spring Meadow

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within yellow to land. Apple Blossom (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Spring Meadow (LRV 57), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Apple Blossom runs green and yellow while Spring Meadow is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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. 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.
