Blue Bayou vs Filtered Sunlight
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Bayou reads as blue, while Filtered Sunlight reads as beige-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Filtered Sunlight (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Bayou (LRV 47), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Bayou runs blue while Filtered Sunlight is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.4, 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.
