Blue Nova vs Safari
Blue Nova and Safari come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue Nova belongs to the blue family and Safari to the beige family. The 47-point LRV gap — 64 for Safari vs 17 for Blue Nova — means Safari will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Nova leans blue, Safari reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 60.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
