Blue Note vs Winter Gray

Blue NoteBenjamin MoorevsWinter GrayBenjamin MooreΔE 51.9 — Very different colors

Blue Note and Winter Gray come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the blue-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 53-point LRV gap — 62 for Winter Gray vs 9 for Blue Note — means Winter Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Note leans blue, Winter Gray reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 51.9 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.
