Blue Bonnet vs Crystal Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Blue Bonnet (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Crystal Blue (LRV 78), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Bonnet runs green and blue while Crystal Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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.
