Barista vs Blue Spruce
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Barista belongs to the beige-pink family and Blue Spruce to the blue-grey family. Blue Spruce (LRV 17) reflects noticeably more light than Barista (LRV 8), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Barista runs red while Blue Spruce is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
