Blue LaceBenjamin MoorevsPennyBenjamin MooreΔE 46.4Very different colors

Blue Lace and Penny come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue Lace belongs to the blue-grey family and Penny to the beige family. The 47-point LRV gap — 66 for Blue Lace vs 19 for Penny — means Blue Lace will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Lace leans blue, Penny reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 46.4 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.
