Avant Garde vs Normandy
Avant Garde and Normandy come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Avant Garde belongs to the beige family and Normandy to the blue-grey family. The 19-point LRV gap — 40 for Avant Garde vs 22 for Normandy — means Avant Garde will open up a space more effectively. Where Avant Garde leans red, Normandy reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 41.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
