Aqua Marina vs Boudoir Blue

Aqua MarinaBenjamin MoorevsBoudoir BluePPGΔE 4.5Noticeable difference

Aqua Marina is a Benjamin Moore color while Boudoir Blue comes from PPG. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 43 vs 37, Aqua Marina will read as the brighter of the two — a 6-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
