Blue Spruce vs Gotham

Blue SpruceBenjamin MoorevsGothamBenjamin MooreΔE 14.3 — Distinct difference

Blue Spruce and Gotham come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue Spruce belongs to the blue-grey family and Gotham to the grey family. The 6-point LRV gap — 22 for Gotham vs 17 for Blue Spruce — means Gotham will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Spruce leans blue, Gotham reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 14.3 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.
