Blue Springs vs Denim Drift
Where Blue Springs belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Denim Drift is a Dulux color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Blue Springs (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Denim Drift (LRV 27), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Springs runs blue while Denim Drift is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
