Balsam vs Peerage

Balsam and Peerage come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Balsam belongs to the green family and Peerage to the pink-purple family. The 8-point LRV gap — 15 for Balsam vs 7 for Peerage — means Balsam will open up a space more effectively. Where Balsam leans green, Peerage reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 42.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
