Azores vs Mauve Desert
Azores and Mauve Desert come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Azores reads as green-grey, while Mauve Desert reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 38 for Mauve Desert vs 34 for Azores — means Mauve Desert will open up a space more effectively. Where Azores leans green, Mauve Desert reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 16.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
