Blue Bayou vs Firefly

Blue BayouBenjamin MoorevsFireflyBenjamin MooreΔE 72.1 — Very different colors

Blue Bayou and Firefly come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Blue Bayou reads as blue, while Firefly reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 8-point LRV gap — 55 for Firefly vs 47 for Blue Bayou — means Firefly will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Bayou leans blue, Firefly reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 72.1 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.
