Azores vs Grasshopper

AzoresBenjamin MoorevsGrasshopperBenjamin MooreΔE 25.4 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Azores belongs to the green-grey family and Grasshopper to the beige-greige family. Grasshopper (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Azores (LRV 34), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Azores runs green while Grasshopper is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
