Blue Grotto and Eggshell come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue Grotto belongs to the blue family and Eggshell to the beige-yellow family. The 81-point LRV gap — 88 for Eggshell vs 6 for Blue Grotto — means Eggshell will open up a space more effectively.

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.
