Aztec Lily vs Poseidon

Aztec LilyBenjamin MoorevsPoseidonBenjamin MooreΔE 54.8 — Very different colors

Aztec Lily and Poseidon come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Aztec Lily belongs to the pink-red family and Poseidon to the blue family. The 46-point LRV gap — 78 for Aztec Lily vs 31 for Poseidon — means Aztec Lily will open up a space more effectively. Where Aztec Lily leans red, Poseidon reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 54.8 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.

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.
