Beachcomber vs Galápagos Turquoise

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Beachcomber belongs to the greige-grey family and Galápagos Turquoise to the blue family. Beachcomber (LRV 19) reflects noticeably more light than Galápagos Turquoise (LRV 9), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Beachcomber runs red while Galápagos Turquoise is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.1, 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.
