Bellbottom Blues vs Cefalú Beach

Bellbottom Blues and Cefalú Beach come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 8-point LRV gap — 15 for Bellbottom Blues vs 8 for Cefalú Beach — means Bellbottom Blues will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 14.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
