Blue SpruceBenjamin MoorevsSalmon StreamBenjamin MooreΔE 40.0 — Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Blue Spruce belongs to the blue-grey family and Salmon Stream to the pink-red family. With LRVs of 17 and 17, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Blue Spruce's blue character against Salmon Stream's red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 40.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
