Blue Heron vs Fennel Seed
Blue Heron and Fennel Seed come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue Heron belongs to the blue family and Fennel Seed to the beige family. The 42-point LRV gap — 58 for Fennel Seed vs 16 for Blue Heron — means Fennel Seed will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Heron leans blue, Fennel Seed reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 55.5 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Blue Heron on one side and Fennel Seed on the other.
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.
