Apple FrothBenjamin MoorevsCrocusBenjamin MooreΔE 47.7 — Very different colors

Apple Froth and Crocus come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Apple Froth belongs to the green-yellow family and Crocus to the blue-purple family. The 33-point LRV gap — 77 for Apple Froth vs 43 for Crocus — means Apple Froth will open up a space more effectively. Where Apple Froth leans green, Crocus reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 47.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
