Blue LagoonBenjamin MoorevsHint of VioletBenjamin MooreΔE 39.9Very different colors

Blue Lagoon and Hint of Violet come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Blue Lagoon reads as blue, while Hint of Violet reads as grey-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 36-point LRV gap — 66 for Hint of Violet vs 30 for Blue Lagoon — means Hint of Violet will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Lagoon leans blue, Hint of Violet reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
