Blue Ice vs Honeybee
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Ice reads as blue, while Honeybee reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Honeybee (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Ice (LRV 59), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Ice runs blue while Honeybee is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 46.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
