Blue Spruce vs Raphael
Blue Spruce and Raphael come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue Spruce belongs to the blue-grey family and Raphael to the pink family. The 10-point LRV gap — 17 for Blue Spruce vs 7 for Raphael — means Blue Spruce will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Spruce leans blue, Raphael reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 29.6 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.
