Blue Heron vs French Violet
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Blue Heron belongs to the blue family and French Violet to the blue-grey family. With LRVs of 16 and 18, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a blue quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 4.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
