Blue Heather and Deep Indigo come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Blue Heather reads as blue, while Deep Indigo reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 43-point LRV gap — 51 for Blue Heather vs 8 for Deep Indigo — means Blue Heather will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Heather leans blue, Deep Indigo reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 46.1 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.
