Blue vs New Lime
Blue and New Lime come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue belongs to the blue family and New Lime to the beige-yellow family. The 54-point LRV gap — 60 for New Lime vs 6 for Blue — means New Lime will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue leans blue, New Lime reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 134.3 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. 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.
