Blue Nova vs Blueberry Patch paint color comparison

Blue Nova vs Blueberry Patch

Blue NovaBenjamin MoorevsBlueberry PatchPPGΔE 3.2 — Noticeable difference

Where Blue Nova belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Blueberry Patch is a PPG color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (17 vs 17), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
