Blue Orchid vs Neon
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Orchid reads as blue, while Neon reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Neon (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Orchid (LRV 50), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Orchid runs blue while Neon is decidedly green and yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 52.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
