Beaujolais vs Rosetone

BeaujolaisBenjamin MoorevsRosetoneBenjamin MooreΔE 46.2 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Beaujolais reads as pink, while Rosetone reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rosetone (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Beaujolais (LRV 11), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Beaujolais runs warm while Rosetone is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 46.2, 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. 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.
