Blue Dragon vs Showtime

Blue DragonBenjamin MoorevsShowtimeBenjamin MooreΔE 76.6 — Very different colors

Blue Dragon and Showtime come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue Dragon belongs to the blue family and Showtime to the beige family. The 26-point LRV gap — 54 for Showtime vs 28 for Blue Dragon — means Showtime will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Dragon leans blue, Showtime reads yellow and red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 76.6 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.
