Blue Jean vs Pan for Gold
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Jean reads as blue, while Pan for Gold reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pan for Gold (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Jean (LRV 43), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Jean runs blue while Pan for Gold is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 70.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
