Bahama Waters vs Lazy Afternoon

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Bahama Waters belongs to the green family and Lazy Afternoon to the pink family. Bahama Waters (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Lazy Afternoon (LRV 18), a difference of 50 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bahama Waters runs green while Lazy Afternoon is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 60.2, 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
