Blue Bonnet vs Distant Gray
Blue Bonnet and Distant Gray come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue Bonnet belongs to the blue family and Distant Gray to the green-grey family. The 6-point LRV gap — 88 for Distant Gray vs 82 for Blue Bonnet — means Distant Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Bonnet leans green and blue, Distant Gray reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 6.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same 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.
