Apricot Ice vs Mediterranean Breeze
Apricot Ice and Mediterranean Breeze come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Apricot Ice reads as beige, while Mediterranean Breeze reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 23-point LRV gap — 85 for Apricot Ice vs 62 for Mediterranean Breeze — means Apricot Ice will open up a space more effectively. Where Apricot Ice leans red, Mediterranean Breeze reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 24.3 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Apricot Ice on one side and Mediterranean Breeze on the other.
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.
