Blue vs Lightning Bug

BlueBenjamin MoorevsLightning BugBenjamin MooreΔE 110.5 — Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Blue belongs to the blue family and Lightning Bug to the beige-yellow family. At LRV 72 vs 6, Lightning Bug will read as the brighter of the two — a 66-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Blue's blue character against Lightning Bug's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 110.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
